SpotCheck | Every year again Montafon

Freeride pro Jochen Mesle freeride filming in the Montafon

by Jochen Mesle 03/23/2017
Every year we go to the Montafon - and not without reason... For more than five years now, I've been drawn out of Tyrol, over the Arlberg and into the Montafon every season. The Silvretta Montafon in particular has become very dear to my heart and promises an impressive visit every year and exciting, satisfying images for our filmmakers and photographers.

With a total of 37 lifts and cable cars on both sides of the valley - the Hochjoch and the Nova - the Silvretta offers rewarding runs in all weather and snow conditions and there is something for everyone: Whether easily accessible, playful zones, which of course not only pleases our media team, or more remote, quiet areas that are nevertheless easily accessible with touring skis - there is something for everyone from the occasional off-piste skier to the ambitioned freerider in the extensive and varied backcountry of Silvretta Montafon. Those who are not yet so experienced in the terrain will find all the information they need at the Freeride Infocenter on the Grasjoch and can also enquire about guided tours.

We recently found some fine powder even after two weeks without precipitation - the playful terrain in the Nova Valley and the more challenging, steeper runs of the Hochjoch became our two favorites. The PowderGuide touring tips always include the Montafon, e.g. the tours to the Sattelkopf or the Zamangspitze.

Another treat is the annual Freeride World Qualifier event on the challenging face of the Heimspitze (here you can find a PowderGuide freeride tour to the Heimspitze). From the terraces of the mountain restaurant "Nova Stoba" directly opposite, you can watch the face closely and choose your line.

In 2015, we filmed our web series "You & The Fools" with El Flamingo Films exclusively in the Silvretta Montafon and had several exciting, entertaining weeks. If you want to see how diverse the Silvretta can be, you are welcome to take a look here:

At the moment we are back in the valley in good conditions and are busy shooting with Midiafilm for our new film, which will be released this fall. Silveretta Montafon remains one of my absolute favorite ski resorts and I'm already looking forward to my next visit, with or without a camera crew.
