Take the A14 to the Bludenz/Montafon exit. Then follow Montafonerstraße L188 to Partenen, where the Vermuntbahn’s valley station is located. Free parking is available at the Vermuntbahn valley station. From there, take the Vermuntbahn and the Tunnelbus to the Silvretta-Bielerhöhe.

If you don’t have your own equipment, there are various options for renting winter sports gear in the Montafon.

The cross-country ski trails are groomed by the respective municipalities or mountain railways, depending on weather and snow conditions. A sufficient and stable snow cover is required for machine grooming. The current trail status is continuously updated by the responsible staff on site.
