Spring in the Montafon: nature experience and relaxation on the Kristberg in Silbertal
An active start to spring: Hiking, biking, culture and enjoyment in Vorarlberg
When the last patches of snow slowly melt at high altitudes, spring is already beginning on the Kristberg in the Silbertal at an altitude of 1,441 metres. On the Kristberg, you can feel nature awakening: fresh greenery covers the slopes, streams babble and the sun's rays warm your body and soul after the long winter months. If you are looking for authentic nature experiences far away from mass tourism, Hotel Kristberg is the right place for you. You'll find everything here, whether you want to hike, ride an e-bike or have breakfast in the open air.
Hiking and e-biking up to 1,800 metres - spring on the sunny slope
Spring around the Kristberg is characterised by its favourable location: the sunny mid-mountain location up to around 1,800 metres is already snow-free from May, while there are often still snowfields at higher altitudes in the Montafon. The gently ascending paths are ideal for the first hikes of the year. E-bikers and mountain bikers also enjoy fantastic tours with far-reaching views in spring. The clear mountain air and colourful nature provide unforgettable impressions at this quiet and natural time of year.
Start of the season with the Montafon Kristberg cable car
The Kristbergbahn is a real relief for your spring holiday: it starts operating continuously at the beginning of May, or at the latest in the middle of the month, making it the first open mountain railway in the entire Montafon. This means you can reach the higher hiking and cycling trails around the Kristberg without any effort. For your nature adventure, the cable car takes you comfortably to the starting points of your hiking or biking tours and to places where you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views.
Montafon mountain breakfast - enjoyment with a view
When the first rays of sunshine warm the mountain slopes on the Kristberg in Silbertal in the morning and the view sweeps over the Montafon, your day on holiday begins with a special experience. Fresh bread, savoury Sura Kees, homemade bacon and hot drinks await you at the daily Montafon mountain breakfast. Breakfast is included for hotel guests! Enjoy the morning peace and quiet on the sun terrace or in the cosy panorama restaurant in the midst of Vorarlberg's blossoming nature.
Spring experience with the BergePLUS Montafon programme
Spring also marks the start of the varied BergePLUS programme in the Montafon. Guided hikes, e-bike tours and climbing excursions take you to impressive places around the Kristberg in Silbertal and the rest of the Montafon. Professional guides adapt each tour to your pace and interests. The region is particularly suitable in spring for anyone who wants to experience nature actively and in a relaxed atmosphere.
Legends, myths & magic under a full moon
A special springtime experience awaits you on the full moon legend hike in Silbertal. Under the light of the moon, a mysterious atmosphere unfolds in the forests around the Kristberg. Accompanied by exciting tales from the Montafon world of legends, you hike through the night and experience an impressive combination of nature, culture and living storytelling tradition.
Experience tradition: Miners' club festival & midsummer bonfire
Spring on the Kristberg also has a lot to offer culturally:
At the traditional miners' club festival in May or June, the history of Montafon mining is celebrated with a lot of heart and love for the region. Guided Silbi tours, face painting for children and Silbi's over 1,000m² play world with the wooden ball track and bouncy castle make this festival an authentic experience for locals, families and guests. Around the summer solstice on the Saturday before or after 21 June, the midsummer bonfires blaze high above the valley. They symbolise light, new beginnings and community and turn the longest night of the year into a special event with its very own magic. The summer solstice takes place on 21 June and marks the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
