The heartbeat of the Montafon

Between tradition and modernity

The Montafon is a valley: a valley between mountains, formed of glaciers, rising to the rear. But the Montafon is above all else: unique. For between the rugged peaks of the surrounding Alps, there is a concentration of lively village life, cultural and historical attractions and traditional customs. Intangibles like hospitality and zest for life also dwell here. And so the Montafon is a combination of many things. A valley that is more than the sum of its parts. A valley for every level. A whole.
