If you’re keen to start your day with an enjoyable breakfast up the mountain, Vorarlberg offers numerous possibilities in winter as well to kick off your day of skiing or a winter hike in a delicious way. The majority of mountain restaurants and huts are located in the middle of the ski resort in the immediate vicinity of the mountain stations. They are thus the ideal starting points for an active winter day.

The Gauertalhaus in the Montafon is the first certified-organic mountain refuge from Naturfreunde Österreich. Upon reservation, guests can enjoy a daily mountain breakfast with homemade organic products from the Kristahof farm. Afterwards, you can start your day of skiing right from the mountain hut. Meanwhile, tobogganing enthusiasts can toboggan all the way to the village centre of Tschagguns if the snow conditions are right.

Two mountain restaurants in the Silvretta Montafon area offer breakfast on the mountain.
Until the beginning of April, every Friday the Nova Stoba invites you to enjoy an early morning breakfast. Our tip: Take advantage of our ”Nova Exklusiv” guided offer which starts at 7:20 am. Swish over the optimally groomed slopes before breakfast.
From the end of December to the beginning of March, guests can enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet at the Kapellrestaurant every Wednesday. As part of “Ländle Früah Sport,” guests can hit the slopes as early as 7:30 am on Saturdays before enjoying a hearty á la carte breakfast.
Telephone reservations on the day prior are required for both restaurants.

As part of Kultur.Frühstück.Montafon (Culture.Breakfast.Montafon) on the Kristberg mountain in the Montafon region, guests can enjoy a very special mountain adventure. After breakfast at the Panoramagasthof Kristberg inn featuring Montafon specialities such as Sura Kees and Brösel, join Adolf Zudrell on a guided tour as he discusses the lives of miners in the erstwhile mining area of Montafon. Daily by appointment.

At 1,680 m elevation directly at the mountain station of the Panoramabahn cable car in Brandnertal, the Frööd restaurant offers a rich breakfast buffet featuring local Vorarlberg products on certain Sundays in January and March. Throughout the winter, guests can also choose from different á la carte breakfast variations every day between 9 and 10 am. It’s the ideal way to kick off an active winter’s day. Ski slopes, winter hiking trails and the Eggen toboggan run all start right on Frööd’s doorstep.

In the Klostertal valley, the team at the Sonnenkopf mountain restaurant treats its guests to a hearty breakfast buffet each and every day. Prior registration is requested by 2 pm the day before. Located right at the mountain station of the Sonnenkopf cable car, the mountain restaurant is an ideal starting point for skiers, winter hikers, snowshoe hikers and tobogganing enthusiasts.

Every Thursday and Friday you can enjoy a “z’Nüni breakfast” at biosphärenpark.haus in the Biopshere Park Grosses Walsertal with regional and homemade delicacies from local producers: alpine dairy butter from the Sonntag-Boden alpine dairy, honey from local beekeepers, various cheese and sausage specialties from the region and more. Registration possible up to two days in advance.

Throughout the year, the panorama restaurant on the Karren mountain offers delicious breakfasts on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Panoramic views of the Rheintal valley are included.

High above Bezau, the Baumgarten panorama restaurant serves up a delicious mountain breakfast against the backdrop of stunning panoramic views daily throughout the year. Reservations required. Combine your breakfast with a day of skiing at the Niedere ski resort or a ski tour in the Niedere-Winterstaude area.
