Winter in the Großes Walsertal

Snow-covered slopes, quiet valleys and pistes without the crowds: here you'll find everything for a winter holiday – on the slopes and beyond.

Three valley stations, 15 minutes at most

You can reach all three in 15 minutes or less – by car or by bus. The bus stop is 50 m from the house.

Beyond the slopes

  • Night tobogganing in Damüls: On certain evenings each week, the floodlit Uga natural toboggan run takes you down into the valley. Ride up with the Uga-Express; toboggans can be hired at the valley station. The run is challenging. You'll find dates and prices at Damüls Faschina Tourism.
  • Snowshoe hike to the Franz-Josef-Hütte: The hut sits at 1,704 m on the upper Stafelalpe in Faschina. A hearty snack and views across the valley await you at the top.
  • Ski touring: A classic is the tour from Faschina up the Zafernhorn. Please only go when the avalanche situation is safe and with emergency equipment (transceiver, probe, shovel) – you'll find the current avalanche report at the Vorarlberg avalanche warning service (German).
