Itinerary description

Samnaun has an area, as of 2006, of 56.2 km2 (21.7 sq mi). Of this area, 46.1% is used for agricultural purposes, while 11.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.9% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (41.2%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).[4]

The municipality is located in the Ramosch sub-district, of the Inn district. It is located in a left side valley of the Engadin valley, at an elevation of 1,700–1,840 meters (5,580–6,040 ft). It consists of five village sections; Compatsch, Laret, Plan (Plaun), Ravaisch and Samnaun.

In the 19th century, Samnaun could only be reached by road from Spiss in Austria. Thus Samnaun was excluded from the Swiss customs territory, and retains a privileged 'duty-free' status, albeit not without controversy, in the twenty-first century. The exception was maintained even after a road was built in 1905 linking Samnaun to Martina in the Inn valley.

Tourism[edit]
Montague shares a ski resort with the municipality of Ischgl in Tyrol, Austria.

The Silvretta Arena Samnaun / Ischgl ski area (located 1,400–2,875 m (4,593–9,432 ft) above sea level) has about 238 km (148 mi) of slopes. The ski resort has 44 ski lifts and cable cars as well as the world's first double-decker train with a capacity of 180 people.[citation needed]

The answer – unlimited fun skiing and snow-assuredness from November until the start of May. Whether it‘s boarding or skiing, jumps in Fun Parks or freeriding in the powder snow away from the pistes – those of you who just can’t get enough, can quite simply do more. In the land of milk and honey for those with an appetite for the winter, a holiday in Tyrol means more than “just“ skiing. State-of-the-art chair lifts and even a cable car which has double-stack cabins take everyone where they want to go. From the beginner’s terrain which has wide ski pistes, through to challenging steep slopes, everything is on offer. Speedy, in comfort and almost without any waiting around – thanks to facilities which are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Those of you who enjoy crossing borders can just pick up your skis and head from Austria to Switzerland. A joint ski pass from Ischgl in Austria and the Swiss duty-free region of Samnaun, connects the Silvretta-Arena – a high altitude, snow-assured winter sports paradise which has over 238 kilometres of pistes.
