Ernest Hemingway was here in 1925. Low prices and great views gave him inspiration for his writing. However, back then there was neither ski lifts nor prepared pistes, completely different from what the ski resort at Silvretta Montafon offers today.
Silvretta Montafon is located in western Austria and many say it’s a fairly inexpensive place, at least compared to St Anton and Lech. Montafon is a perfect destination for moderate skiers, with only one black piste at Silvretta Nova. The most attractive aspect about this place is perhaps the large off-piste areas, which means ski touring has become popular here.
Silvretta Nova is hugely popular among holiday makers from Germany and Switzerland, and it may be a good idea to come here outside these countries typical holiday periods.
The best way to reach Silvretta Nova is by car or bus from Zürich airport.
There are many great restaurants in Silvretta Nova and you can also visit Europe’s largest ski bar here.
