Silvretta Park Montafon And Valisera Bahn Open
The new Silvretta Park Montafon has opened. At the same time, the new Valisera Bahn, whose valley station is integrated into the Silvretta Park, went into operation for the first time. Silvretta Montafon invested a total of 70 million euros in the entire project. Guests can expect the first autonomously operated 10-seater gondola lift in Austria, the largest e-charging garage in Vorarlberg, a market hall with regional gastronomy and an Intersport shop.

“The Silvretta Park with the integrated Valisera Bahn is the largest project in our company's history. Together with the architects Obermoser + Partner, we have created a multifunctional complex that offers our guests an all-round package of service and leisure enjoyment. The mountain experience begins in the valley - exactly where we made history around 40 years ago with the opening of the Valisera Bahn.
