Silvretta Nova is probably the largest and perhaps the most beautiful ski area in Montafon. The Silvretta ski paradise is also among the best-connected ski areas in Austria. This varied ski area offers challenges on steep slopes and in deep snow, as well as powder-snow fun for experienced skiers and snowboarders. The popular Intersport Nova Snowboard Funpark also draws visitors with its many obstacles. Carving enthusiasts take to the sunny slopes, while beginners enjoy the gentle hills.
Montafon has six more ski areas: Bielerhöhe, Golm, Hochjoch, Kristberg, Schafberg and Warth-Schröcken. Silvretta Bielerhöhe is ideal for those seeking peace and snow-covered scenery. The Golm ski area, with its wide slopes, has its own appeal and is particularly well suited to family ski holidays. Kristberg, Schafberg and Warth-Schröcken are also suitable for families. More advanced skiers, too, can enjoy powder snow and unique panoramic views of 200 peaks.
