Hotels and apartments

Silvretta Montafon is an excellent destination to stay in Austria. General costs there are somewhat lower, which is of course great for large groups and families. In this area you will find more than enough hotels and apartments, so there is something for everyone. If you like to be close to the slopes, be wary of where you book. Not all accommodations are close to the slopes. The villages in this area are generally quiet but charming. This is not the area to be partying until dawn in, but it is perfect for those who would love a peaceful holiday in the mountains.

Après ski

The après-ski in this region is not as lively as in other places in Austria. If you still want to have a drink, it is best to do so in the village of Gaschurn. There are a number of cafés and clubs there, where you can socialise after a long day on the slopes. The après-ski here can be compared with the après-ski in Germany.
