A delicious way to start the day

Breakfast in the mountains in winter

Enjoying a hearty breakfast in the mountains is the ideal way to start an active day while on winter holiday in Vorarlberg.

 

If you’re keen to start your day with an enjoyable breakfast up the mountain, Vorarlberg offers numerous possibilities in winter as well to kick off your day of skiing or a winter hike in a delicious way. The majority of mountain restaurants and huts are located in the middle of the ski resort in the immediate vicinity of the mountain stations. They are thus the ideal starting points for an active winter day.

The Gauertalhaus in the Montafon is the first certified-organic mountain refuge from Naturfreunde Österreich. Upon reservation, guests can enjoy a daily mountain breakfast with homemade organic products from the Kristahof farm. Afterwards, you can start your day of skiing right from the mountain hut. Meanwhile, tobogganing enthusiasts can toboggan all the way to the village centre of Tschagguns if the snow conditions are right.

Two mountain restaurants in the Silvretta Montafon area offer breakfast on the mountain.
Until the end of march, every Friday the Nova Stoba invites you to enjoy an early morning breakfast. Our tip: Take advantage of our ”Nova Exklusiv” guided offer which starts at 7:30 am. Swish over the optimally groomed slopes before breakfast.
From the end of December to the end of March, guests can enjoy an extensive breakfast buffet at the Kapellrestaurant every Wednesday. As part of “Ländle Früah Sport,” guests can hit the slopes as early as 7:30 am on Saturdays and Sundays from beginning of February to beginning of April before enjoying a hearty á la carte breakfast.
Telephone reservations on the day prior are required for both restaurants.

As part of Kultur.Frühstück.Montafon (Culture.Breakfast.Montafon) on the Kristberg mountain in the Montafon region, guests can enjoy a very special mountain adventure. After breakfast at the Panoramagasthof Kristberg inn featuring Montafon specialities such as Sura Kees and Brösel, join Adolf Zudrell on a guided tour as he discusses the lives of miners in the erstwhile mining area of Montafon. Daily by appointment.
