The legend trail on the Kristberg turns a hike into an audio play: at stations a wanderer and the Silbertal devil tell the valley’s legends – from the accident tunnel by the Agatha chapel and the night folk to the miners. The whole loop is just under 15 km (about 4½ hours, 320 m of elevation) but can be walked in shorter loops from the Kristberg cable car; the paths are wide and sunny, with refreshments at the Kristberg inns.

International family blogs cite it as an example of the Montafon’s child-friendly themed-trail culture – listening to stories, collecting stamps, enjoying the panorama.
