Silvretta Montafon, with its mystical beauty, stretches over 39 km in Vorarlberg, Austria’s westernmost province. Surrounded by the majestic Rätikon, Verwall, and Silvretta mountain ranges, the alpine valley extends from Bludenz southward to the Silvretta. Dense forests, crystal-clear mountain streams, and impressive rock formations tell the story of the natural forces that have shaped this region. The valley is crowned by Vorarlberg’s highest mountain, the 3,312-meter-high Piz Buin. Here in Montafon, time becomes irrelevant; one can lose themselves in the vastness of the landscape, the clarity of the air, and the interplay of light and shadow that reveals the mountains in ever-changing colors.
Hidden behind the imposing mountain group lies the vibrant center of Schruns. Together with Tschagguns, it forms the two main towns at the entrance of the Montafon valley. Across three elevations—valley, Maisäß, and alpine—there are countless opportunities that excite both world-class athletes and leisure sports enthusiasts alike. The region is a significant starting point for all ski and hiking areas in Montafon, characterized by a rich alpine and Nordic skiing tradition. Whether climbing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, or golfing and tennis—options are virtually limitless. The historic center of Schruns, once described by Swiss writer Jakob Christoph Heer as “more of a chic little town than a village,” invites year-round leisurely strolling with attractive shopping opportunities. Schruns-Tschagguns thus offers an ideal combination of sporting challenges and relaxation.
