    Winter high alpine hike with a fantastic panorama of the many 3,000-meter peaks of the Silvretta

    Nature and you! On this winter hike, you will enjoy the impressive Montafon mountain world at the foot of the glaciated Silvretta. Beautiful winter panorama away from any hustle and bustle. Warm-up and dining options at the Silvretta House*** or the Piz Buin inn/hotel directly at the Silvretta lake or a little below at the Madlener House.

    The journey via the Vermuntbahn and the tunnel bus to the Silvretta lake is already a very special experience!
