The Montafon holiday region is known for producing delicious dairy products that have become an integral part of the menu. There is hardly anything nicer than getting up in the morning, letting your gaze wander over the green mountain meadow panorama and drinking a glass of milk from the happy cows in the meadow. Would you like to enjoy fresh dairy products that were produced directly on the alp? Then you shouldn’t hesitate to pay a visit to the alpine dairies in the Montafon. You have probably already heard of the Montafoner “Sura Kees”. It tastes similar to mild cream cheese, but becomes stronger the longer it is left to stand. Here you can see how this specialty is made.
Would you like to know how to spend a perfect hiking day? Of course, by combining it on the Alpe Nova with a trip to the alpine dairy. The hike from the mountain station of the Garfrescha Bahn, over the Gantakopf to Alpe Nova is a recommendable experience. The dairyman couple Andrea and Andreas will be happy to give you an insight into their everyday life in the alpine dairy.
At Alpenwelt Nova you can explore a lot more. There is the opportunity to playfully discover the cow at various learning stations. For example, at the thematically adapted children’s sand playground or at the milk can memory. In addition to the cow, you can also learn a lot about the sheep, flowers, mountains and bees.
