The Verwall group, also Verwall or Ferwall lies in roughly equal parts in the Tyrolean Oberland and in Arlberg area, the mountain range is part of the Central Alps. While in the renowned winter sports resorts Ischgl, Galtür, St. Anton and Schruns the ski party is raging right at the border of the area, the Verwall is recommended even in summer for mountain lovers who are looking for peace and quiet.
Regions
According to the alpine club leader, the mountain group becomes one more western Verwall group and into one eastern Verwall group with the limit over that Muttenjoch divided, but this is of little importance for the normal mountain tourist.
places
The Verwall itself does not have any larger towns, but the settlements in the border valleys are the "Who's Who" of Austrian winter sports:
- Bludenz, District capital;
- Galtür, winter sports resort with guaranteed snow and summer health resort;
- Ischgl, Winter sports resort and climatic health resort;
- Kappl, Winter sports;
- Schruns, Capital of the Montafon;
- St. Anton, Winter sports resort on the Arlberg Pass;

background
The Verwall borders in the north with the Klostertal and Stanzer Tal in the Arlberg area to the Lechtal Alps, to the southeast with the Paznaun Valley to the Samnaun and in the south and west in the Montafon to the Silvretta group and the Rätikon.
The name of the mountain comes from the Romanesque "Val bel", which means "beautiful valley". Geologically, the area belongs to the Silvretta crystalline (gneiss, mica schist, phyllite, granite gneiss and amphibolite), formed from the 1.5 billion year old rubble from even older mountains. It is therefore much older, for example the rocks of the Northern Limestone Alps.
The Verwall mountains are less glaciated than in the neighboring one SilvrettaThe high valleys of the mountains are comparatively easy to access from the surrounding tourist resorts and thus enable even the persistent hiker to experience the nature of the high mountains without too much difficulty. A well-marked network of trails leads from hut to hut and enables extensive high-altitude hikes on alpine paths, past ibex, marmots and alpine roses;
