Explorer Hotel Montafon

Explorer Hotel Montafon sits in Gaschurn at the head of the Montafon valley in Vorarlberg — one of Austria's classic mountaineering and freeride valleys, framed by the Silvretta, Verwall and Rätikon ranges. The 2011-built property is part of the Explorer Hotels chain, a climate-conscious active-sports concept aimed at skiers, mountain bikers and high-altitude hikers. The wellness floor is full-service: sauna, steam room and treatment rooms in the spa, plus a fitness centre — all wheelchair-accessible. The chain runs a free breakfast buffet (6:30–10:30), a water dispenser and snack bar, electric-bike charging stations, bike cleaning and ski storage. Vegan and vegetarian options run through the kitchen, with a comprehensive food-waste and recycling policy across the property. Gaschurn gives direct access to the Silvretta Montafon ski area — one of Vorarlberg's largest — plus summer mountaineering on the Piz Buin and Vermunt routes. The Silvretta High Alpine Road (open in summer) is on the doorstep, and the Bregenzerwald, Lake Constance and the Swiss and Liechtenstein borders are all within easy reach.
