Silvretta Montafon Ski area

The multi-award-winning "Silvretta Montafon" ski resort is the largest in the Montafon, with a total of 142 kilometres of slopes. "Silvretta Montafon" was formed in 2008 from the ski resorts of Silvretta Nova on the left-hand side of the valley near St. Gallenkirch, and Gaschurn and Hochjoch on the right-hand side of the valley near Schruns and Silbertal. Perfect slope conditions and excellent snow reliability make a holiday in this area a truly memorable experience.

Thanks to the balanced mix of blue, red and black runs, there’s something for everyone here: Beginners can enjoy practising their turns on sections of the resort’s longest run (the Hochjoch-Totale at Grasjoch), which covers a vertical drop of 1,740 metres over a distance of 12 km. The 2-kilometre-long "Piste 44", on the other hand, is reserved for experts.

Secured deep-snow and freeride areas offer plenty of variety off-piste too – for example, in the popular Hochjoch area – which is easily accessible! A highlight for freestylers is the Montafon Snow Park. To this end, the former 780-metre-long Nova Park fun park was relocated to the Grasjoch and significantly expanded.

The ski resort is particularly well suited to "expert skiers" and "freeriders". Under the slogan "BlackScorpions – fancy a bit of a thrill?", you can experience the seven most difficult and steepest runs here – definitely not for the faint-hearted!

In addition, there is a speed test track and a public race track with timing facilities where you can set your personal bests.

Après ski in Silvretta Montafon

The Montafon is also renowned for its varied après-ski scene: at Bella Nova, one of Vorarlberg’s largest ice-topped bars serves as a popular meeting place and offers a culinary journey through Italy with special treats such as build-your-own pizza and much more. There’s also a chill-out area with hammocks for relaxation. Another worthwhile spot is the spacious terrace of the Sternbar at Nova Stoba, situated right next to the Gaschurn gondola top station. A new highlight is the Vinnova: at 2,000 m, it is Vorarlberg’s highest-altitude wine bar, offering over 100 different wines, a variety of tapas and a breathtaking view – definitely worth a visit.

In addition, you’ll find a wide range of après-ski options spread throughout the ski resort, from small ski huts to large restaurants. Here you’ll be offered a wide selection of dishes, from simple regional fare to culinary delights.

Away from the slopes, several toboggan runs in the Montafon beckon – including the longest night toboggan run in Vorarlberg, stretching 5.5 km. Night tobogganing also takes place every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at the Garfreschabahn. Afterwards, you can enjoy a hearty mountain meal at the T3 Alpenhotel Garfrscha and round off the evening in a rustic atmosphere (toboggan hire and dinner not included).

A worthwhile alternative to partying and tobogganing is snowshoeing in the Montafon. The region boasts numerous marked trails through snow-covered landscapes – from leisurely to challenging, there’s something for every ability level. Particularly popular is a circular route to Gasthof Rellseck, which takes around 3.5 hours to complete. Trails to the hunting lodge or towards Kristberg also offer impressive views. Those who are unfamiliar with the area or prefer to be accompanied can take part in guided snowshoe and winter walks.

A chill-out area also offers space to relax and chat to good music after a busy day.
