Good skiing but not the place to go for lash. Relocate to the other side of the Silvretta pass for that.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I work there during the week.
The skiing is good, but the apres is almost non-existent.
The area is good for finding powder, and family holidays, but not much else.

As others have said.....@harvey13, the skiing is good but don't expect nightlife. There is a train to Bludenz or Feldkirk for a night out if you're desperate

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@tjgadd18, hey, sorry not sure there actually are any UK TO's who go there? Certainly didn't come across any UK workers.
Personally I'd stay in Schruns - there's just a bit more going on than the other villages. TBH I didn't bother checking any of the hotels, so I can't really recommend much in the way of accommodation! However my old boss is renting his house out on AirBnB - it's genuinely lovely, and right in the middle of the village on the edge of the square (3 minutes walk to the lifts): https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6509187?s=Oi92Jpnb&sug=50
Let me know if you'd like me to put you in touch with him.

Enjoying a nice glass of Grüner Veltliner and dreaming of the season ahead. Thinking about digging out my bike lights so it must be almost winter...
We visited Montafon about 5 seasons ago, staying in Gaschurn in these great apartments:

May not suit everyone but we had an amazing time. We went in a group of 6 - we're not big umpah apres fans but there are plenty of places to go and from memory, it was cheap. Seem to recall evenings sitting at the Sporthotel bar drinking schnapps till the early hours. It's our 'we'd love to go back to place' - knee deep powder, a great range of on and off-piste and starry skies.
We've done St Anton twice (once too many), Söll (OK for a cheap package), Kitzbuhel (twice and would keep going back), Hinterglemm (three times - fourth trip to the Theresia booked for Jan), Bad Gastein (interesting but didn't have great snow), Schladming (twice - happy to go again), Galtur plus days in Zell, kaprun, Obertauern - and 2 trips to Mayhofen including a late night mountain rescue. We've also tried France, the U.S. and Switzerland (not yet managed Italy). I'd put Montafon among the best and as soon as my daughter is old enough to not need childcare, we'll be heading back.

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

@clarky999 I am keen to come and try out it, it is getting a lot of press in the likes of Fall-line skiing so wondered if any of the TOs had started to offer it.
Thanks for the recommendation. Only me and my gf at the moment so looking for a hotel or perhaps a one bed airbnb - if we get others to join us it might be more feasible.
