About Gortipohl
Gortipohl is a village of well under 700 residents in the Montafon, the long valley of the River Ill in Vorarlberg. It lies up the valley from St. Gallenkirch and before Gaschurn, with a small waterfall formed by the Balbierbach in the village itself. It has a branch church, a primary school, a kindergarten, tennis courts and a Kneipp facility, but it is not a resort centre. The homes are packed into a very small area, most with a garden, and they mostly sleep four to six, with a few for ten. None have a pool or sauna. Nights are quiet.

- Best for
