Get out into the fresh mountain air


The cold weather is ideal for strengthening the body's defenses. It has been proven that physical activity outdoors in cold temperatures can be even more effective than sport indoors. The invigorating effect of winter air has been linked to improved vascular function, which helps to lower high blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke, while improving overall concentration and sleep quality. Fresh air can help us feel better. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise not only boosts energy levels, but also increases the release of endorphins - substances responsible for reducing stress hormones and creating feelings of happiness in the body. At the Hotel Fernblick Montafon we offer you a unique environment with many opportunities to try out winter sports such as hiking, snowshoeing and ski touring.

 

Hiking in the winter months is an incredibly rewarding experience with the unique views in our area. It is important that you dress appropriately for the cold weather, e.g. with several layers and waterproof boots or shoes. You should also have some snacks or drinks with you so that you don't run out of energy during your hike. Our team will be happy to put together a snack package for your winter hike.

Snowshoeing is our favorite activity as soon as the Montafon is covered in a blanket of white snow. Snowshoes help to distribute your weight evenly over a larger area, making it easier to move through deep snow than if you were walking in normal shoes. It is important to choose the right type of snowshoe depending on your weight and height. You are welcome to hire snowshoes for your tour at the hotel.

If you are looking for an even more exciting way to explore nature in winter, then ski touring might be just the thing for you! In contrast to classic skiing, ski touring is more about the ascent than the descent. With special touring skis and skins, you climb up a mountain slope and can really let off steam!

Just try it out!

No matter which sport you choose - hiking, snowshoeing or ski touring - a visit to the Hotel Fernblick Montafon will give you an unforgettable experience in winter.
