Cycling day trip from Gaschurn to Galtür

Get ready for a breathtaking ride from Gaschurn to Galtür, a scenic journey through the heart of the Austrian Alps! Starting in Gaschurn, a charming village famously known as a gateway to the Silvretta Alps, you'll pedal your way upward through lush valleys and pine forests. This 21.7 km route isn’t for the faint of heart, featuring a leg-burning ascent of nearly 1,200 meters. But with most of the surfaces paved or asphalt, you'll find the climbs manageable—with rewarding mountain views all the way.

Much of the ride follows quiet roads and tracks, letting you soak up peaceful alpine surroundings. A good chunk—about 10%—is on gravel, so a sturdy bike is a plus. By the time you reach Galtür, sitting close to 1,600 meters in altitude, you’ll have traversed one of the loveliest sections of the Montafon and Paznaun valleys. Galtür itself is an alpine gem, well-known for its outdoor adventures and as a winter sports haven.

Take plenty of breaks and enjoy the ride—you’ve earned those mountain panoramas!
