The mountain village of Gargellen is a climatic health resort in Vorarlberg and politically belongs to the municipality of St. Gallenkirch. Gargellen is at 1,423 meters, is the highest town in the Montafon and is located in the Gargellental, through which the Suggadinbach flows. Today's most important branch of the economy is tourism. The place name means something like "water whirlpool" and is said to come from Romansh. Northwest of Gargellen is the Rongg waterfall, where there is a fairly short but challenging via ferrata.
