t’s ten minutes to eight, the sun and most other skiers are still asleep. But the piste machines have already been up and about and done a great job. The pistes are still completely untouched and make you want to make turns down them. Half an hour ago, the group met up with the two guides at the valley station of the Versettla Bahn. After the personal welcome, the group made the ascent with the cableway. The snugly warm lambskins in the cabin were the first pleasant surprise. A second one was waiting at the middle station in the form of a mug of hot tea, which was passed into the gondola. It hit the spot and the skiers were able to let their thoughts float away as they looked down into the valley and up to the surrounding peaks.

The people are always surprised by the fantastic panorama in the morning.
AMAZINGLY QUIET
The grey of dawn is anything but ghastly here. On the contrary: The mood and the quiet have something almost meditative about them. Having arrived at the top, there are a few warm-up exercises to complete first: loosening the shoulders, arms and legs to prepare you for the descents to follow. Two groups now form. One is made up of bon vivants, the other of those who like a bit more speed. A couple of pictures are quickly snapped with the mobile phone camera – these colours simply have to be captured. Otherwise nobody at home will believe them!

NOVA EXCLUSIVE REFRESHMENT WITH REGIONAL PRODUCTS
Breakfast starts at nine o’clock. Everyone skis to the Nova Stoba mountain restaurant together, where a hearty mountain breakfast with the best products from the region awaits the group: sausage and cheese platters, muesli, bread, cheese, eggs. Montafon Riebel, a dish based on corn meal, is also available, as is goulash soup and a pan of fried potatoes with bacon. Filled with energy, the rest of the skiing day can begin. “I usually ski an interesting variant with the group to finish with, for example deep snow, firn or a black run,” says Herbert. The best always comes last? Not at all: The best comes at the beginning – in this case at the beginning of the day.

Now the “Nova Exclusive” starts. The participants are on the go for a good hour and all on their own. They make their own tracks and enjoy the freedom. It’s how they collect uplifting moments – not only because of the lofty elevation they are moving about at. Herbert Berger (65) has been accompanying the “Nova Exclusive” for many years as a ski instructor and knows that, “The people are always surprised by the fantastic panorama and the superbly prepared pistes.” The intense natural experience as the sun slowly rises also regularly moves the graduate of the renowned ski grammar school in Stams. The man from Gortipohl would like to share these impressions. “When the skiers set off, some of them are so engrossed that they hardly notice the panorama to begin with. That’s when I like to point it out to them.”

aving a picnic under the open sky – most people associate this with fun in the spring or summer. But in the Montafon, guests also gather these special firsthand impressions in winter – and enjoy regional delicacies in the process. Before that, however, there’s an ascent for everyone with the Kristbergbahn followed by a gentle climb. You don’t need to be a certified hiker for this. “It’s a pleasure tour that focuses less on sportiness,” says BergAktiv hiking guide Romy Pichler. She accompanies the groups in alternation with Christl Tschuggmel.

A pleasure tour that focuses less on sportiness. Romy PICHLER Snowshoe guide
Having arrived at the summit station, they put on their snowshoes and set off along the easygoing path towards Ganzaleita, passing by St. Agatha’s Chapel. “Total silence accompanies us in this forest. Here and there, you can see a couple of animal tracks, which are very easy to spot in the deep snow,” reports Romy, whose delight on this hike is self-evident. After one to one and a half hours, they have reached the wonderfully situated Ganzaleita viewpoint. Before the snack, there’s one more detail to arrange – namely, to create a suitable picnic spot. The shovels they have brought along are used to quickly make a table and a bench, so that all the participants can take a seat. Heavy work with a rumbling stomach? Not at all, says Romy, “It’s something quite special for the participants, because who goes on a picnic in winter?!”

PICNIC SNOWSHOE HIKE
SPECIALITIES OF THE REGION Once everything is laid out, it’s time for the well-earned refreshment with regional delicacies such as Montafon Sura Kees, Landjäger sausage, plaited bread, farmer’s yoghurt, apple, muesli bar – and a warming cup of tea or coffee. Talking of warming: Nobody has to freeze, thanks to the mats to sit on. Afterwards, it’s time for the second stage of the snowshoe tour, which lasts about one hour and is mostly downhill. On the way back, the idyllic Maisäss (traditional Alpine pasture land) chalets provide splendid photo motifs. At the destination, the Panoramagasthof Kristberg near the summit station, there is a second culinary highlight: the Zudrell family serves tasty Kaiserschmarren (sugar raisin pancakes) from a big pan as the crowning end to the tour. The group then takes the Kristbergbahn back down into the valley again.

SKI TOURING TASTER DAY

D
THE WORLD OF SKI TOURING IN A DAY
uring the ski touring taster day on the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe, you’ll spend five hours finding out from mountain guide Lukas what a good tour plan looks like, learning the right walking technique on the ascent and attempting the first easy descent in open terrain. As of next winter in the Montafon, you will have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with ski touring under expert guidance. The taster ski tour has been specifically developed for beginners who would like to try out this kind of sport. No prior knowledge is necessary – it is enough to be a skier of average ability. Items of equipment such as touring skis, boots and sticks, suitable furs, an avalanche transceiver, a shovel and a probe are given to all participants before the taster day starts at Sport Stöckl in Partenen. A normal ski suit is sufficient as far as clothing is concerned.
THEORETICAL BASIS
Once everyone has their equipment, the group will take the Vermuntbahn up to a height of around 1,700 metres and then continue with the tunnel bus through the Vermunt tunnel to the Madlenerhaus at an elevation of around 2,000 metres. There, mountain guide Lukas Kühlechner will explain what ski touring is all about: “Good tour planning, a realistic assessment of one’s own abilities and respect for nature, people and technology are prerequisites for a safe experience in the big outdoors.” Next, the participants learn how to use the emergency equipment and the touring skis. Before heading off into the open terrain, the host of the Madlenerhaus serves home-made Keesknöpfli (cheese spaetzle) as an extra shot of energy.
19
THE FIRST STEPS ON TOURING SKIS
The first steps on touring skis are now attempted – on flat terrain, of course. The gradient is gradually increased until the first hairpin turns become necessary. Mountain guide Lukas explains this in advance and the technique is continuously practised along the way. In total, the group will spend about two hours in open terrain, covering a maximum of about 150 to 300 vertical metres. “A distance that is easy for beginners to manage,” says Lukas. “This tour isn’t about peak performance but about finding out for yourself whether the sport is right for you and if you’d like to continue with it.” The ski touring taster day comes to an end after about five hours and the group heads back into the valley with the tunnel bus and Vermuntbahn to round off the adventurous day in a cosy inn.

KING | UNCONVENT ION WOR D R AL HA
The establishment of the winter sport clubs in Schruns and Tschagguns more than 110 years ago launched the success story of skiing in the Montafon. In the 1940s, the Montafon not only had the first chairlift in Vorarlberg – the Grabs chairlift – but also two ski jumps. Ski lifts quickly sprang up in other places, such as on the Hochjoch near Schruns or in Gargellen. Thanks to the excellent infrastructure, numerous World Cup races were held in the Montafon up until the 1980s. The Montafon World Cup has now established itself as a permanent feature of the Snowboard and Ski Cross World Cup.

IGLOO ADVENTURE NIGHT

A NIGHT
IN AN IGLOO AT OVER 2,000 METRES GUEST CONTRIBUTION BY MORITZ MÜLLER & CHRISTIANE SETZ
W
hat could be lovelier than to start the day on a mountain?! The atmosphere shortly before sunrise is simply indescribable and the feeling of starting the day “at the top” surrounded by it all is wonderful. We’d already slept on the mountain a few times in the summer – in a tent or chalet – but this year we also wanted to spend a night in the mountains in the winter.
THE IGLOO CALLS
An igloo? In the Montafon? Right on a mountain? We could hardly believe that at first. It sounds adventurous and exciting and somehow cosy, too. We really looked forward to the day and finally it came! We ascend the mountain with the Valisera Bahn. We meet up with Manfred from the Silvretta Montafon, the organiser of the overnight stay in the igloo, and the other guests in the Valisera Hüsli, where the mood is both relaxed and good. The group is a colourful mix of people and we are all excited for what lies ahead. For dinner, there’s a hearty cheese fondue with the friendly chalet host Markus – the pots are scraped out to the last morsels of cheese. Simply delicious!
IGLOO ADVENTURE NIGHT
30
31
3 MUST DOS ON AN OVERNIGHT STAY IN AN IGLOO 1. SWITCH OFF THE LIGHTS
When you stand on the mountain at night, the stars are simply stunning. You should therefore switch of all light sources, lie on your back and look up at the canopy of stars. What you get to see here is better than any film at the cinema.
2. SET YOUR ALARM CLOCK
Even though the evening was long, you should definitely set your alarm clock for an early start. Watching how the sun climbs slowly over the peaks and bathes the morning sky in wonderful colours is simply magical.
3. INHALE THE SILENCE
TORCHLIT HIKE TO THE IGLOO VILLAGE
After dinner, we are rewarded with a wonderful evening sky. The mountains have a blue glow and the snow reinforces the mood. We keep stopping to take photos – wow, wow, wow! The piste machines are working up and down the mountain – it’s kind of great to experience a ski area in peace and quiet after everyone’s gone home for the day. Having finally arrived at the igloo, the crackling camp fire already beckons. Manfred entertains us with camp fire stories to do with the Silvretta Montafon and we drink a mug or two of mulled wine together. Wonderful – this evening really couldn’t have been more perfect.
The mad rush that surrounds most people in their daily lives can be easily forgotten on the mountain. If you keep slightly away from the group, you may be lucky enough to hear absolutely nothing at all and enjoy the total silence of the mountains.
IGLOO ADVENTURE NIGHT

33
THE NIGHT WAS MUCH TOO SHORT
Our alarm rings at half past five. We find it really difficult to leave our cosy bed, but a pale glow can already be seen on the horizon and we want to experience the sunrise outside. So we get up and wrap up warmly – a good idea because a gentle wind has started blowing. We try to get a little head start and wait for the first rays of sunlight. This moment, when the sun finally rises above the horizon, is simply wonderful every time! The other guests gradually emerge from their igloos and everyone slowly starts feeling hungry. We’re already looking forward to the delicious breakfast in the Valisera Hüsli and as we walk there our feet are already itching to be the first on the untouched slopes. After a full day on the piste, we all agree on one thing that evening: it was a wonderful and adventurous weekend with an unforgettable overnight stay in the igloo village.
IGLOO ADVENTURE NIGHT every MON, WED, FRI & SAT probably from 27/12/2019 to 13/04/2020
Our gaze constantly shifts to the sky. The air is clear and there isn’t a breath of wind. Millions of stars twinkle above us – it almost looks kitschy. We move slightly away from the fire to sit on a small hill and try to capture this incredible sight with our camera. The atmosphere is just how we imagined it. The snow swallows every noise, the fantastic sky above us, the piste machines moving about like glow-worms in the distance. And then the moon rises, too – amazing! We slowly realise how tired we are and snuggle down into our blankets. We keep on waking up during the night to marvel at the stunning view of the moonlit mountains from our “glamping box” in the igloo.

A SKI SAFARI
ON ”BEWEGUNGSBERG GOLM“ SKIING IN DEEP SNOW EXCITES EVEN THE LITTLE WINTER ATHLETES
Being in the great outdoors fascinates the little ones – above all the silence away from the slopes. Günter ZANGERLE Ski school director
W
hat all freeriders and ski tourers value is, for children, a unique experience: their first turns off the slopes and the pleasant silence on the mountain. “Each child who can make a confident parallel turn is warmly welcome on the children’s ski safari,” explains Günter Zangerle, director of Schneesportschule Golm. Surrounded by a good dozen children, Günter gets the young athletes in the mood for a day of adventure: “We are heading out onto a marked ski route that is only open when the snow and weather conditions are ideal.” The accompanying ski instructors prepare the young skiers for skiing in deep snow and demonstrate how they can get their skis to turn in any kind of snow.

After the first slopes, the tour continues into snow-covered forests and past idyllic alpine meadow landscapes. “Of course, we are also mindful of the necessary wildlife reserves in winter,” says the 37 year-old. The two groups approach the Gauertalhaus, where there’s a barbecue sausage party to enjoy. The final highlight is a small treasure hunt: the ski instructors explain the rules, then the children split into two groups to feverishly search the snow with avalanche transceivers. Once the treasure has been found, the little skiers receive a reward and the four-hour adventure of the children’s ski safari comes to an end.

fter the ride on the Rätikonbahn, both groups leave the secured slopes together with the ski instructors and turn off onto the ski route. After the children have marvelled at the sight of the surrounding Rätikon mountains and taken their first selfies, the adventurous tour begins with an initial descent in deep snow. The ski instructor goes ahead and makes tracks towards Gauertal. After just a few minutes, the group dives into a whole new world. “Being in the great outdoors fascinates the little ones – above all the silence away from the slopes,” says Günter.

MADRISA CIRCUIT
THERE ARE
ALWAYS BOUNDARIES ... AND SOMEONE TO CROSS THEM Long powder descents, a border crossing in the high mountains and a ride on the Rhaetian railway – that is the Madrisa Circuit. We have put together the perfect plan for a unique ski adventure. The circuit around the Madrisa, starting in Gargellen, is one of the highlights of the Montafon ski paradise. Anybody who has done it, will be raving about it for a long time to come. This is no easy tour, however, which also gives it its special allure. In order to complete it safely, we recommend being accompanied by a local, state-certified mountain and ski guide. And being well prepared.
MADRISA CIRCUIT January to mid-April approx. 350 vm approx. 2,100 vm

AT HOME
You’ll spend a good seven hours on the Madrisa Circuit, for which you’ll need good fitness and strength. Relevant training is an advantage.
EQUIPMENT
Required equipment includes: a passport, a spare pair of gloves, proper clothing, a snack, enough to drink and reliable protection against the sun. When you are out and about with a mountain guide, you will also learn how to use avalanche transceivers, shovels and probes. In Küblis, you’ll continue for a couple of kilometres by train or taxi – so make a note of the taxi phone number and the departure times.
START
You have to get going early and take the first cableway. Otherwise you may not have enough time, since the sun sets by 4.30 pm in early winter. Have the biggest breakfast you can and then off you go.
TOUR
From Gargellen, travel with the cableway to the Kristallbahn summit station. The first descent leads in the direction of Täli, where the pelts are put on. Then continue for approx. 45 minutes to St. Antönier Joch. The reward for this ascent is a leg-

HEIGHTS AND DEEP SNOW EXPERT OPINION
The state-certified mountain and ski guide Matthias Ganahl from the Montafon mountain guides knows the Madrisa Circuit like the back of his hand.
WHAT ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT ARE
OF THIS TOUR FOR YOU?
THE DIFFICULTIES?
Crossing the border between Austria and Switzerland is always a special moment for me. I take this step quite consciously every time. After that, there’s this uniquely wonderful long descent, which we break into sections. That makes them medium-difficult to easy, depending on the guests’ abilities and the conditions. I also always find the ride on the Rhaetian railway exciting.
The weather on the other side of the Rätikon, i.e. in Switzerland, can often be completely different. We have to bear this in mind and vary the tour accordingly. And, of course, you need a good dose of strength and stamina. The tour is particularly enjoyable in small groups with a mountain guide.
endary deep snow descent where you can travel 900 vertical metres in the powder snow. Life can be so good! St. Antönien, a picturesque town covered in deep snow, marks the end of the descent. With the Postbus or taxi and the charming Rhaetian railway, you’ll travel through larch and coniferous forests in serpentine bends to Klosters. With the Madrisalift – ski passes, season tickets and Gargellen ski cards are valid – you’ll arrive at the highest point of the ski area. From there, continue to Schlappiner Joch. When crossing this south-facing slope, pay attention to rising temperatures and the associated avalanche situation. Choosing the right trail here is very important. A final dream descent through the Valzifental valley to Gargellen completes the tour.

MUNTAFU – MI DAHEM BISCHT DU (MONTAFON – YOU ARE MY HOME) I spür a Hennahut wenn i am Piz Buin hock I get goosebumps when I sit on the Piz Buin
und ka kaum beschrieba was des met miar tuat and can scarcely describe what that does to me
Wia d Sonna iahri letschta warma Strahla how the sun casts its last warm rays
of d’Bergspitz wörft, si färbt in a roti Gluat
onto the mountain peaks, turns them into a red glow
I komm mr vor I hock i ra Asichtskarta It’s like I’m sitting in a postcard
vo dem wo des plant hot züh i echt dr Huat I take my hat off to whoever planned this
I treg an Stolz im Härza, bin an Pionier im Geischt I carry pride in my heart, am a pioneer in spirit
als Kind vo da Bärga hon miar des im Bluat
as children of the mountains, we have that in our blood
• Muntafu, mi dahem bischt Du Montafon, you are my home
• Alle Lüt wo vo dos do iher fahran Everyone who comes here from afar
sahan d Schönheit was miar vor dr Hustür hon sees the beauty we have on our doorstep
Si hon a enzigs mol üsri Bergluft grocha They smell our mountain air just once
“MUNTAFU –
wöran süchtig dass sie gära wedr kon and are keen to return one day
Miar tälan sogar üsr ägas Näscht met da Gescht We even share our own nest (home) with the guests
wenn’s hart of hart kunt wil miar allig a Plätzli hon

(MONTAFON – YOU ARE MY HOME)
ome melodies stay with you for a lifetime: the first home-made music cassette, the foreign-language party hits on holiday or the wedding song in front of the altar. These very special songs have the power to keep memories alive for years and years. The new song “Muntafu” has the means to break into the exclusive ranks of cult songs. Goosebumps guaranteed. Contemporary Montafon pieces used to be associated with the band Krauthobel from Schruns. But now, the artist Falco Luneau from Partenen is enriching the musical landscape in the valley with the song “Muntafu”. “From the outset, our goal was for this song to bring people together, to awaken a
sense of home and to strengthen cohesion in the community,” Falco explains. “Everyone should find themselves in the song and be able to identify with it.” In order to meet this challenge, the singer first worked intensively with the Montafon as a place to live and its core brand values. For the recording, he quite deliberately chose musicians from the valley: the vocals are provided by Falco and Sandra Kraft, Jürgen Ganahl from Krauthobel on his guitar, Ralf Hollenstein on the bass, Lucas Bitschnau on the drums, Robert Krenn plays the Styrian harmonica and Harald Bschorr the trombone. Sandra Kraft summarises the joy of everyone involved: “Music is always about feelings, passion, people and relationships.
Miar sen zwor Ägagrin doch miar hon oh Fingerspitzagfühl
We might be stubborn fools but we also have a sensitivity
i da Gene wil miar üsran Scharm verston in our genes because we understand our charm
• Muntafu, mi dahem bischt Du Montafon, you are my home
• Du märkscht erscht wenn da goscht You’ll only realise when you leave
was met ägna Oga gsaha hoscht what you saw with your own eyes
und dass Hemweh oh ke Grenza kennt and that homesickness knows no bounds
des Tal isch diar of d Netzhut brennt the valley is burned into your mind
• Jo Muntafu, mi dahem bischt Du Oh Montafon, you are my home
Auf Du und Du, met am Muntafu On familiar terms with the Montafon
That is similar to being a host – the feeling has to fit. And that was the case with this song from the start.”
• Composition / Text – Falco Luneau
“MUNTAFU” The song “Muntafu” is available to download for free at montafon.at/musik and from Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music and as a CD in all Montafon tourism offices. The video and the ringtone of the song can be found at montafon.at/musik INFORMATION: T. +43 50 6686 // montafon.at

PREVIEW
SUMMER 2020
GLACIER HIKE EXPERIENCE
Together with a Montafon mountain guide, you’ll hike from the Wiesbadener Chalet via the Vermunt glacier and the Ochsenscharte and up the Jamtalferner. After a short break, you return to the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe.
CLIMBING ON THE DAM WALL
Have you ever climbed up a dam wall? A 320 metre-long via ferrata now leads over the wall of the Silvretta reservoir. Special features: benches to take a rest on, a rope bridge and an adventurous swinging pendulum.
“GARGELLEN WINDOWS” HIKING TRAIL
The new Gargellen Windows give you a diverse view of all epochs of the highest mountain village along a charming Maisäss (traditional alpine pasture land) loop hiking trail.
RIOTOUS COLOURS ON THE MUTTJÖCHLE
There are only a few mountains that can serve up a similar blaze of colour in autumn. The leaves of the blueberry bushes show many nuances of red, orange and yellow.
TO IDYLLICALLY SITUATED ALPINE PASTURES
The Garneratal is a particularly picturesque valley and is considered an insider tip in the Montafon. At Alpe Garnera, Veronika and Christian Kartnig make traditional and modern dairy products.
BIKE & HIKE TO THE TILISUNAHÜTTE
Past lovely mountain lakes and great views of the mountain panorama, you’ll ride on an eBike to the Tilisunaalpe, from where you’ll go on a 45-minute hike to the beautifully located Tilisunahütte chalet.
