Silvretta Bielerhöhe

The Silvretta-Bielerhöhe is an insider tip for anyone looking to spend time being active away from the larger, overrun resorts. At 2,032 metres, the Bielerhöhe reveals a fantastic view of the imposing mountain world with the highest mountain in Vorarlberg, Piz Buin (3,212 m).

Winter & Summer: Vermuntbahn in the Montafon in Vorarlberg

Winter hiking – an absolute highlight

The pedestrian's safari is a unique nature experience, offering a wonderful panoramic view across the mountainous world of Montafon. Before the day of skiing kicks off – when the sun rises, you will be on your way to the Alpilagrat. Savour the breath-taking panorama at the vantage point before setting off at a moderate pace as you make your way across the morning winter wonderland toward Sennigrat. In the Kapell-restaurant a sumptuous breakfast buffet will be awaiting you.

Alpine coaster at Golm in the winter

With two-seater toboggans you will travel from Latschau through the woods to Vandans. Each driver determines their own speed. Thrills and chills are provided by a 360°-circle, fourteen 180°-U-turns and a number of "jumps". Those are caused by the bumps that give the driver the feeling that they are taking off.

Tobogganing

On two blades you will be just as fast going downhill as you would be on skis or on a snowboard – and you'll usually have lots to laugh about, too. In Montafon professionally prepared and conditioned toboggan runs at all levels of difficulty are waiting for the brave riders and those who still dream about becoming one. Some of the toboggan trails are illuminated for a night-time toboggan party.
The longest toboggan runs begin at the Lindauer lodge and at Kapell.

Snowshoe hiking

Discover the unspoiled wintertime nature while on your snowshoes. Even America's first inhabitants all used an old form of today's snowshoe in order to walk across the deep snow. Taking a guided snowshoe tour, you will quietly traverse the virgin snow and will leave the first tracks. A great experience!
