(translation: «Here in our lovely village Samnaun everything’s a little different… In winter we welcome the santa claus with the annual tradition ‚ClauWau‘ and in summer we hike with a good picnic in our backpacks over all hills!»)
The language of Samnaun is not the only exotic thing in this small alpine village. The journey to Samnaun alone is a real highlight. The curvy, narrow mountain route, which gets interrupted by one-track mountain tunnels over and over, offers a spectacular view over steep rock faces and gorges.
Samnaun is also the only free trade zone of Switzerland. With around 50 duty-free shops, Samnaun is the destination for all shopaholics and shopping lovers. As our guests you will get a discount in selected shops!
​
The Silvretta Arena Samnaun-Ischgl, the largest skiing area in the Eastern Alps, lies just in front of our house.
After an approximately eight minutes ride with the world's first double-storeyed cable car, more than 230 kilometres of ski slopes await you. However, there's a lot more to discover in the Silvretta Arena Samnaun-Ischgl.
For example there is a snow-sculpture-competition, where artists all over the world show their proficiency, which takes place annually.
Also a lot of musical top-acts like Pink, Udo Jürgens, Die Toten Hosen, Gianna Nannini and many more perform in the SIlvretta Arena infront of a picturesque view which always makes it a spectacular show.
