Winter & Snowshoe Hiking

The quiet side of winter

Not every winter day calls for speed or long hours on the pistes. Sometimes it is the slower pace, the moments of pause and the encounter with silence that reveal the true magic of the colder months. In the Montafon, winter unfolds step by step — along cleared winter walking paths or away from the trails on snowshoes.
Hotel Montjola Nova in Schruns is your ideal starting point for both.

Winter hikes on cleared paths

With over 290 kilometres of cleared winter paths, the Montafon invites you to explore the landscape on foot. Snow crunches beneath your boots, the air feels sharper, and views open out across the surrounding peaks.
Whether it’s a gentle walk close to the village or a longer route higher up, winter walking here is about moving at your own pace and taking in the mountains without skis.

Snowshoeing beyond the beaten path

For those drawn to quieter places, snowshoeing offers a deeper way into winter. Step by step through fresh powder, away from marked routes, the sense of space becomes almost tangible.

Guided snowshoe walks — including those offered through the BergePLUS programme — lead into silent valleys and across gentle slopes that can only be reached on snowshoes, accompanied by experienced local guides.

Easy access, endless choice

Whether you prefer a short walk, a longer route with views, or a day on snowshoes, many starting points are close by. From Schruns, paths and trailheads are easy to reach — some even by lift or local bus.

This makes each day wonderfully flexible: a slow morning walk, an afternoon at altitude, or a full day exploring quieter ground.

When the air is crisp and the snow catches the light, every step feels unhurried — and quietly freeing.

Experience winter in the Montafon at its calmest — with time to walk, pause and explore on foot from Hotel Montjola Nova.
