Après ski Gargellen ski area
The Montafon is also characterised by its varied après ski: At Bella Nova, one of the largest ice cream bars in Europe offers a popular meeting place and a culinary journey through Italy with special offers such as pizza to order and much more. There is also a chill-out area with hammocks to relax in. Another worthwhile location is the spacious terrace of the Sternbar at the Nova Stoba, located directly at the gondola lift station in Gaschurn. A new highlight is the Vinnova: at 2,000 metres, it is the highest wine bar in Voralberg with over 100 different wines, various tapas variations and a breathtaking view and is definitely worth a visit.
In addition, you will find a variety of après ski options spread across the entire ski area, from small ski huts to large restaurants. Here you will be offered a wide selection of food, from simple regional dishes to culinary delights.
Away from the pistes, there are several toboggan runs in the Montafon - including the longest night toboggan run in Vorarlberg at 5.5 kilometres. Night tobogganing also takes place at the Garfreschabahn every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Afterwards, you can enjoy a hearty mountain meal at the T3 Hotel Garfrscha and round off the evening in a rustic atmosphere (toboggan hire and dinner not included).
A worthwhile alternative to partying and tobogganing is snowshoeing in the Montafon. Numerous marked routes lead through snow-covered landscapes in the region - from leisurely to challenging, there is something for every level. A circular tour to the Rellseck guesthouse, for example, is particularly popular and can be completed in around 3.5 hours. Trails to the hunting lodge or in the direction of Kristberg also offer impressive views. If you don't know your way around or prefer to be accompanied, you can take part in guided snowshoe and winter hikes.
