Reliable snow conditions
Situated at over 1,400 metres above sea level, Gargellen is described by Montafon Tourismus as one of the snowiest areas in Vorarlberg. At the same time, the ski area is more compact and peaceful than the larger ski resorts nearby.
Freeride Zone
The Täli run is a natural snow piste with no artificial snowmaking or lift pylons along the descent, giving you the feeling of ski touring while enjoying a groomed run. For freeriders, the Nidla offers an exciting powder slope with approximately 500 metres of vertical descent.

And the Best Part for Our Guests
After Your Last Run, Head Back to Bludenz City
After a day on the mountain, there's still more to enjoy. Back in Bludenz, swap your ski boots for comfortable shoes and take a stroll through the historic old town, stop off for a drink or round off the evening with a good meal.
That's one of the advantages of staying in Bludenz: you can spend the day enjoying the slopes without having to spend the entire evening at the ski resort.
