Between Bludenz and St Gallenkirch the Montafon valley is largely flanked by wooded slopes, with a string of villages on either side of the river – St Anton im Montafon, Vandans, Tschagguns and Schruns. Cutting into the southern wall of mountains are the Rellstal, Gauertal, Gampadelstal and finally, the Gargellental which effectively forms a division between the Rätikon and Silvretta Alps. Mountain huts grace each of these tributary valleys, and in their upper reaches trails climb to the wonderland of craggy peaks that give the district much of its allure.

Visitors staying in any Montafon resort are given a Guest Card on arrival. This gives access to a number of services within the district free of charge or at a reduced rate. In addition it could be worth buying a Montafon season ticket (the Sommerkarte) for unlimited use of cable-cars in the Montafon valley, Bludenz and the Brandnertal; or the Montafon-Silvretta Card which allows unlimited use on numerous cable lifts and public transport on 3, 5, 7, 10 or 14 consecutive days, not only in the Montafon district, but also in the neighbouring Paznaun and Samnaun valleys.
