In the Alps of Austria
Chalet Christl is the perfect place for both sporting activities and relaxing days in nature. The holiday home is located directly by the ski slope, so you can ski right to the front door. There is also a ski school nearby so beginners can easily learn the basics. And if you want to explore the area away from the pistes, you will find numerous forests, hiking and biking trails in the surrounding mountains. The chalet itself is cosy and comfortable, with a fireplace in the living room and a fully equipped kitchen. From the rooms you have a wonderful view of the mountain landscape.
The Montafon is a winter wonderland and the perfect place to enjoy skiing and snowboarding action. With 295 kilometres of slopes, the area is a paradise for beginners and advanced skiers alike. And with a variety of lifts and cable cars operating throughout the region, getting around is a breeze.
Skiing and snowboarding aren’t the only activities on offer in winter. The region also has some of the best cross-country skiing in Europe, as well as plenty of opportunities for tobogganing, hiking and ice skating. The almost 40 routes for cross-country skiing offer a wide variety of lengths and are groomed daily. The ice skating track in Schruns is a real experience, especially for children!
The journey is worth it. The small but fine Gargellen ski area offers wide pistes that are just perfect for carving. The Schafberg restaurant is also recommended.
You don’t need a car to get to our local mountain. Slightly advanced skiers can take the valley run to the Hochjochbahn right in front of the house and ski straight back to the chalet.
Sledding in the dark is simply an experience. Sleds can be rented in Vandans. The Golmerbahn takes you to Latschau. A 3 km long toboggan run awaits you there. The night toboggan run is not in operation every day. You can find the operating times online.
A unique experience on Vorarlberg’s longest illuminated night toboggan run. You race 5.5 km through the Maisäß village of Garfrescha to St. Gallenkirch. The toboggan rental is on site. If you want to strengthen yourself before tobogganing, the Brunella host at the mountain station of the Garfrescha Bahn serves regional delicacies from its own production. The night toboggan run is not in operation every day. You can find the operating times online.
The region offers the perfect opportunity to cool down on hotter days! If you are looking for breathtaking scenery, jumping into a natural lake is a must! Surrounded by mountains and forests, it is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the fresh air. If you are more interested in a traditional bathing experience, there are also several indoor and outdoor pools to choose from in the region. And for those looking for a challenge, there’s even a river where you can test your whitewater rafting skills. Regardless of whether you prefer to soak up the sun or conquer rapids, the Montafon offers you everything you need for a perfect bathing experience.
After the ascent with the Golmerbahn, the circular route starts at the Grüneck mountain station. The research trail offers a lot of variety and fun over its 3.5 kilometres. Instead of walking to Vandans – put your feet up and let the summer toboggan run “Alpine Coaster” take you adventurously to Vandans.
From the baroque church of Bartholomäberg you will reach your destination after about 1.5 hours. The unique panoramic view of the Montafon mountains will reward you for your efforts.
The 2.7 km long nature trail is ideal for families. In beautiful nature, the twelve, partly interactive stations, bring the fascination of mining closer to the visitor. At the end of the path you will find an adventurous playground. The best way to end your hike is to enjoy a “Kaiserschmarrn” at the Panoramagasthof.
For all those who are free from giddiness and are looking for a little adventure, the Silvrettasee via ferrata directly at the dam wall is an absolute must.
Suitable for advanced climbers. Do you also dare to cross the rope bridge?
