Stop at Nova Stoba for Austrian mountain cooking during a Silvretta Montafon ski day. Save Haus Matschwitz for a separate outing to Golm.

THE FOOD SCENE

Nova Stoba is the mountain restaurant for a Silvretta Montafon lunch. In the valley, look for Montafoner Sura Kees, the regional sour cheese. If skiing at Golm on another day, Haus Matschwitz is beside the middle station of the Golmerbahn.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Nova Stoba holds scheduled après music events. Check the programme and last valley descent before staying for a set; if your group wants a longer evening, meet back in its valley base.
