St. Gallenkirch: Mölltaler Gletscher - Bergstation Schwarzkopflift - Blick nach Nordwesten
Mölltaler Gletscher occupies a high-alpine basin in the Goldberg Group of the Hohe Tauern, in Carinthia. Above the Mölltal valley near Flattach, this glacier area rises towards Schareck, a 3,123-metre summit and one of the range’s best-known ski mountains. Schwarzkopf is part of the lift network serving pistes on the glacier and adjoining slopes. Access from the valley is provided by the Mölltaler Gletscher Express, an underground funicular that makes the resort unusual among Austrian mountain areas. The setting belongs to the broader Hohe Tauern mountain world, where deeply cut valleys separate glaciated ridges and high summits.

Tucked into the Montafon valley along the Ill, Gemeinde Sankt Gallenkirch is a place whose character is shaped by steep Alpine slopes and the seasonal rhythm of a mountain valley. The municipality includes the settlements of Sankt Gallenkirch and Gortipohl, set between the Silvretta and Verwall mountain groups in southern Vorarlberg. Its parish church, dedicated to St Gall, gives the main settlement both its name and a link to the region’s Christian heritage. In winter, the local lift network forms part of the Silvretta Montafon ski area; in warmer months, paths lead into high pasture country and toward the surrounding ranges. The Ill continues down-valley through Montafon toward Bludenz, tying this high valley to the wider Vorarlberg landscape.

Built around Alpine valley routes and the Rhine corridor, Vorarlberg grew into Austria’s westernmost federal state, where the Alps meet the shores of Lake Constance. The Rhine forms much of its border with Switzerland, while the Bregenzerwald, Arlberg and Montafon give the region a strongly mountainous character. Bregenz, on Lake Constance, is known internationally for the Bregenz Festival and its lakeside floating stage. Compact towns, timber architecture and a long textile-manufacturing tradition reflect a region linked closely to neighbouring Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
