Travelling from Bludenz, you enter state road B188 which takes you by the old cement plant of Lorüns and through the town of Lorüns. After driving through the Alma woods and past the Tränabächle (brook of tears) the valley opens to its main splendor at St. Anton (in the local dialect: Santatöni) on the left, and Vens and Vandans on the right. St. Anton, which is not to be confused with its larger and more famous St. Anton am Arlberg, is the hometown of the Stemer clan and the Battlogg clan.
