    On this flat trail, you do your laps in the field in front of the Montafon social center. The Tschaggunser Mittagsspitze and the pilgrimage church Mariä Geburt repeatedly come into impressive view. Combined with the small and large Landschrofen loops, it creates a great, varied cross-country skiing route.

    Entry point:

    Between Tschagguns train station and the Shell gas station. Another option: at the Montafon health and social center in Schruns.
