Ski area Golm
The local ski area of Tschagguns is Golm, which can be reached by ski bus within just a couple of minutes. You can look forward to nearly 27 km of pistes with 12 lifts at the Golmer Joch suited for winter sport enthusiasts of every age and skill level. The ski area features a pleasant mix of blue and red pistes, all of which can be covered with artificial snow. Additionally, there are around 18 km of ski routes, which justify Montafon's reputation of being a freeride hotspot.
Especially families with children are welcome in the ski area Golm. In the Golmi-Land at the mountain station of the Grüneck (1,890 m) children will enjoy the child-friendly fun slope while their parents can savour the view from the Berghof Golf and the Panorama-Restaurant nearby. In the "Golmi-Wald" the mascot Golmi leads the way and the "Hexenwald" at the blue piste #4 is part of the family run and also popular with the little ones.
Advanced riders can enjoy the World Cup run or take an endurance challenge on the longest piste of the ski area: the 9.2 km long valley run leads from the highest point of the ski area all the way down to Vandans and spans 1460 metres of altitude. From there you can get back to the valley station in Latschau with the Golmer lift. Another piste highlight for skiers with strong nerves is the deep black run "Diabolo" - it is one of the steepest pistes in Austria with a downhill gradient of 70%.
Apart from the many piste highlights the ski area offers a family-friendly infrastructure with six mountain restaurants for a break, skiing lessons and free of charge childcare from 3 to 6 years, as well as the children's ski safari.

Together, these ski areas offer 287 kilometres of pistes (incl. 62 ski routes), which are served by 77 lifts. This makes the Montafon one of the largest ski regions in Vorarlberg.
