Ski on the TOP of the World....
Greggor58 Says: A double decker gondola gets to to the jump off point...and from there the World is your oyster.There are a multitude of different lifts to take you higher and to different ski areas...in total....around fourty lifts I believe.The altitudes of the various runs stretches from...
Restaurants....EATING AGAIN....

Greggor58 Says: For a real TREAT....and something that is a little unique I thought....check out the Theatergruppe Samnaun....a local Theatre group that performs once a week during the High Season.My friend Sabrina participates and we watched a production of "Zimmer 12a"...."No Room for...

Anjutka Says: I had an icecream here and Lothar an Irish Coffee. Both was OK. When Lothar was talking with the waitress it was in an exotic language I never heard him speaking before. I first thought it was Romantsch, the ancient Romanic language spoken in the Engadin area of Switzerland...
Sunshine Bar: The only apres-ski bar in Samnaun Compatsch
Veghel Says: If you stay in Samnaun Compatsch or Laret, the Sunshine Bar is the only place where you can get a drink straight from the pistes. Of course there are some hotel bars, but you don't go there at 4 p.m. if you don't stay in the hotel itself. Ski outfit!
Why Not: The only Dancing/Disco
mabu Says: As Samnaun is not very big the nightlife is limited. The Only Disco/Dancing in Samnaun is the Why Not. Its located in the Hotel Post. Every Evening a DJ will play Music. Sometimes there are Live Bands. Normaly every evening there is another theme. Posters in the whole...
lotharlerch Says: The Swiss part of the valley is served by a rather frequent bus which can be used free of charge - this hopefully can serve a little to bring the heavy car traffic a bit down although most of the cars come to Samnaun to fill up with the cheaper fuel. It seems a bit crazy...
lotharlerch Says: There are two roads to reach Samnaun. The easier one comes from Austria. When coming from Landeck a few km after the village Pfunds the road begins - only a few meters before the road to St. Moritz - Engadin. After about 10 hairpin turns the road runs at the Austrian side of...

Greggor58 Says: All over the town you will have your choice of many shops that are selling everything from clothing ...ski gear...sunglasses...jewellery...watches...liquor...perfumes....cigarettes and souvenirs.The only shopping that I did was at Boutique Trend Bellezza where I purchased a...
Trend Bellezza Boutique: Mostly Clothing.....
Greggor58 Says: This is a GREAT little shop....mostly womens and mens clothing..some jewellery...but odds and ends as well...Andrea bought a stainless steel kettle when we were there so its more than clothing thats available to buy here.One of the Men's line that they carry is an Italian...
mabu Says: In this "game" the target is to get a nail in to a piece of wood with as little hammerstrokes as possible, this sounds easy but: you are only allowed to use the narrow side of the hammer....You are allowed to stick the nail in to the wood so far it won't fall down before you...
Bring your Passport....if you're skiing at the TOP
Greggor58 Says: If you're going to the top..you can cross a line....some type of line...and cross into Austria without even knowing it....at the top...I can't remember the lift that we used...but I was approached by an Austrian Customs or Border person that wanted to see my papers...Im not...
Greggor58 Says: There are two roads to use to access Samnaun ...two different roads that will take you up the mountain and into the Resort area...The second road is the most narrow...it is the first road built to go up the mountain...and the tunnels are QUITE narrow...so if youre not sure...
lotharlerch Says: The pic shows Compatsch and Laret, the first (lowest) Swiss villages in the Samnaun valley seen from above Spiss when walking from the last houses of Spiss a few minutes into the valley of the river Malfragbach.
The Austrian part of the Samnaun Valley
lotharlerch Says: Virtually nobody in the thousands of cars drivng daily up to Samnaun stops in the Austrian part of the valley with the village Spiss (yes, all have to stop at the Austrian EU Customs checkpoint, of course, and will be asked to declare their duty free purchases). The Austrian...
Skiing in one of the best resorts of the alps
mabu Says: The International Ski Arena Samnaun-Ischgl is one of the biggest skiing areas in the Alps.Some part of the area is on swiss ground some on austrian. So while skiing you cross the border several times. Totaly 42 modern lifts (Mostly chairlits with 4, 6 or 8 seats) take you up...
Veghel Says: The picture shows the red, black and off-piste runs from the Palinkopf (2,864 m) to Gampenalp (1,975 m) and Bodenalp (1,848 m). This is in the Austrian part of the Samnaun - Ischgl ski area.
Greggor58 Says: The Cable car station is located on the main road between Samnaun Dorf....and Samnaun Compatsch....you really cant miss it....There is ample parking if you might be driving to the lift....or there are buses that service the entire community and the lift.The cost for a day...

Every year I go skiing for at least one week. My favorite place for skiing is the Ski Arena Samnaun-Ischgl. This year I could enjoy two weeks skiing in one of the biggest ski resorts of the alps.
