Illgau

The mountain village with character

The charming Sigristenhaus, local traditions and plenty of nature – that is Illgau! It is located on an idyllic, wind-sheltered sun terrace around 200 metres above Muotatal.

The widely scattered farms are inhabited all year round up to an altitude of 1,300 metres. The small community of around 800 people has preserved its distinctive traditions and unique character.

A destination for nature lovers and families
Thanks to its magnificent and peaceful location, Illgau has become a holiday destination for those who love beautiful landscapes. Hikes and walks lead to scenic viewpoints, where the Mythen mountains and Muotatal can be seen from a different perspective. On the winter hiking trails and snowshoe trails, you can enjoy nature all to yourself.

Families
Families, too, have discovered the charm of this cosy mountain village. The Ladybug-Traill is a hiking trail for children. Thanks to the lovingly designed forest playgrounds, the hike becomes a full-day family outing. In winter, sledging fun awaits at the Vorderoberberg cable car.

Highlights in Illgau

Out and about with the family or drawing strength from nature – Illgau offers both. In the mountain world between Ibergeregg and Muotathal time runs at its own slow pace.

Energy site Illgau

Pause and recharge. Nature gives us strength. The St. Karl area has a powerful energy of its own. From the bench, you can enjoy the view of mighty peaks and quietly recharge your own batteries.

Folk music and tradition

llgau folk music is particularly well known and popular. It is said that in every Illgau family, at least one instrument is played. In addition to traditional folk music groups, bands performing modern rock and pop music also take the stage.

Traditional events such as the Sennenchilbi, which takes place every year on Carnival Monday, are very well received. In Illgau, the Muotathal weather prophets also meet regularly and share their weather forecasts for the coming six months with witty sayings.
