Ski holidays in Schruns — the cable car on your doorstep
First on the lift in the morning
You can see the Zamangbahn from the terrace. Being 550 metres away means no car, no ski bus, no queue for a parking space. You put your boots on and walk. And when the youngest has had enough by lunchtime, the way back to the sofa is just as short.
If you want a change, you have the choice: the Hochjochbahn in the village leads onto the same mountain, and Valisera and Grasjoch are further access points to the Silvretta Montafon. For first turns with children, the Golm across the valley is the better choice — and for a quiet day, set off early to Gargellen.
From here you're into the Silvretta Montafon, one of Vorarlberg's largest ski areas — wide runs on the Hochjoch, gentle slopes for first turns, and long descents above the treeline. Everyone comes home wet. That's what the ski cellar is for: skis, poles and boots stay downstairs instead of dripping in the hallway. Clothes go into the drying room — our boiler room, always warm, everything dry by morning. Anyone who has started day two of a ski holiday in damp socks knows what that's worth.
