Bärgi (Bergle) Alpine Hut

Bärgi (Bergle), footbridge
Alp in the Samina valley above Steg, above the entrance to the Malbuntal, Triesenberg municipality, 1500–2084 m above sea level, 96.1 hectares, of which 26 hectares are productive pastures.
In 1355 the Bärgi came together with Grossstäg and a part of Malbun as inheritance of the parish of Schaan to several Walser von Triesenberg. In 1562 it became part of the Triesenberg municipal alps, on which individual dairy farms continued to operate. As late as 1878, there were eleven alpine huts and stables on the Bärgi. In 1882, a few years before the other Triesenberg Alps, the common dairy was introduced on the Bärgi. Today there is only one building left. While the Bärgi was still considered a cow in the Alpine statutes of 1867, only 65 cattle were summered in 1928. In the 20th century, the Bärgi served mainly as a Galtviehalp and partly as a Schafalp, but was often empty in the second half of the century. The maximum stocking of the Bärgi, which has been farmed partly together with the Alp Garsälli since the end of the century, has been estimated at 25 livestock units since 1997. The Bärgi has no access road.
