The miners’ tour leads from Schruns through the Silbertal up to the Kristberg, the Montafon’s “connoisseur’s mountain”, and back via the Bartholomäberg. Around 28 km and 940 m of ascent – moderate, on tarmac and gravel, with no technical trails. At the top the Kristberg inns, the miners’ chapel of St. Agatha and the view of the Rätikon and Verwall are your reward; the descent over the Bartholomäberg is one of the most scenic in the valley.

English-language e-bike portals recommend the loop as a classic leisure tour with plenty of places to stop. To save the climb, take your bike up in the Kristberg cable car.
