Gorfion, Mountain peak in Rätikon range, Austria and Liechtenstein.

The Gorfion mountain rises to 2308 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between the Austrian region of Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein.

Alpine explorers and mountaineers from both Austria and Liechtenstein have documented numerous expeditions to Gorfion's summit since the early 20th century.

Local residents from Nenzing and Triesenberg maintain traditional mountain festivals at the base of Gorfion during summer solstice celebrations.

The mountain offers multiple marked hiking trails from both Austrian and Liechtenstein sides, with the ascent taking approximately four hours from either starting point.

Gorfion's limestone cliffs contain fossilized marine creatures dating back to when this area was covered by an ancient ocean 250 million years ago.
