A classic: the Madrisa round tour
Ski touring tip #1
This easy day tour follows historic smugglers' routes from Austria to Switzerland and back. It has been a classic ski tour in the Montafon for over 50 years. Skiers and snowboarders can look forward to an impressive natural experience with fantastic, varied descents.
Duration 5:00 h | ascent 300 metres altitude | descent 2000 metres altitude | difficulty medium
Lindauer Hütte in the Gauertal
Ski touring tip #2
A beginner's ski tour with a magnificent view of the Three Towers!
This scenic tour only requires a few metres of ascent. It leads through the wildly romantic Gauertal valley along the foot of the Sulzfluh, directly to the foot of the striking Three Towers, a landmark of Vorarlberg. The Lindauer Hütte is also a culinary destination. Prepared descent - an experience even at night with a headlamp!
Duration 2:30 h | ascent 750 m | descent 750 m | difficulty easy
Vergaldner Schneeberg in Gargellen
Ski touring tip #3
An inconspicuous summit with a fantastic view of Madrisa, Rotbühelspitze and the Silvretta. The guaranteed snow in Gargellen offers an ideal starting point for ski tours in early winter. The wide slopes on the descent make every deep-snow skier's heart beat faster.
Duration 4 hours | ascent 1120 metres altitude | descent 1120 metres altitude | difficulty medium
Hennakopf on the Silvretta Bielerhöhe
Ski touring tip #4
The ski tour to the Hennekopf is one of the shortest and easiest high-altitude tours on the Bielerhöhe in the Silvretta, ideal for beginners. However, the steep slopes at the entrance to the Biel valley in particular require a careful choice of route. As a rule, hairpin bends are not necessary, which makes this tour a real pleasure. A unique view of the 3,000 metre peaks of the Silvretta awaits you at the summit. The wide, moderately steep slopes are ideal for the descent, even for less experienced deep-snow skiers.
Duration 2:30 h | ascent 710 m | descent 710 m | difficulty medium

Seelücke Silvretta Bielerhöhe
Ski touring tip #5

Depending on the conditions, there are several routes available for the descent. In good conditions, it is possible to ski down almost 2,000 metres in altitude past the Vermunt reservoir to Partenen.
