Silvretta Nova's 114 km of downhill runs and alpine runs form one of the most easily accessible and fascinating winter sports regions in Austria. Three cable-car lifts take skiers right to the heart of this extensive ski area. 27 lifts and wide open slopes provide all the variety of skiing needed – for both beginners and advanced skiers. Boarder enjoy the 150 m halfpipe with their own direct approach runs of the mountain station and the 400m Freexrun. The BoarderX distance was adapted to the area and thus in Austria unique in its kind.

The 5,5 km long, illuminated toboggan run from Garfrescha mountain and a permanent carving run complete Silvretta Nova's Winter sport attractions. Most modern snow plants secure optimal runways until the spring. And beyond that as a guest of the Montafon you have entrance to 209 km marked runways, 100 km kept in track cross country courses, 192 km of winter moving ways, 37 ski routes and much more besides….
