Summary

Silvretta Montafon is the largest ski domain in Vorarlberg, with 140 km of pistes and 1,730m of vertical drop in the Montafon valley. Sporty profile and freeride-oriented, with varied terrain between forests and high alpine. It’s the serious alternative to [[lech-zuers]] in the same federal state, but with more accessible prices and less crowding.

Giora’s tip

Silvretta Montafon is for sporty skiers seeking volume and vertical without paying Arlberg prices. Excellent base in Schruns (charming village) for a week combining your own pistes with excursions to [[lech-zuers]] or [[ischgl]].

[[lech-zuers]] — Luxurious neighbour in Arlberg
[[ischgl]] — Another sporty option in nearby Tirol
[[st-anton-am-arlberg]] — Arlberg freeride

Unique highlights

HochjochTotale — the longest descent in Vorarlberg
Montafon Totale — epic 45 km route and 10,000m cumulative vertical in a day
Freeride hotspot — numerous marked off-piste routes, more than half the pistes above 2,000m
