Furx can be explored through several clearly distinct interests: winter sports in the ski area, the history of the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul, and regional cuisine at Peterhof. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Furx, these themes may influence your choice of destination. Is your main interest in lifts and ski touring, a historic landmark, or regionally inspired dining?
Winter sports in Furx: lifts, downhill runs and ski touring
The Furx ski area has one drag lift. At Zwergberg, there is also a conveyor belt and a rope lift; children and beginners can learn to ski at the lifts. The downhill runs are rated no harder than intermediate. The learning facilities and the difficulty rating address different questions: the first concerns learning to ski at the lifts, while the second concerns the downhill runs. Two designated ski touring routes add another form of winter sport to the area.
When weighing up lift operations, downhill runs and ski touring, you should also consider the planning conditions for each. Before travelling, check the seasonal operating schedule of the lifts and the current difficulty ratings of the downhill runs, which may be updated. For ski touring, availability depends on snow and local conditions. This will help you distinguish between the different winter sports options based on their respective formats and relevant conditions.
Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul
The Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul adds a historical dimension to choosing where to visit. It was extended in 1728 and restored in 1868. The sequence marks two distinct steps: first an extension, followed later by a restoration. For travellers interested in culture, this provides a specific point of reference and a different perspective on Furx from its winter activities. The chapel thus offers an independent historical landmark for learning about the village.
Alpe Furx: panoramic views and regional cuisine
From Peterhof on Alpe Furx, the panoramic view extends across the entire Rhine Valley. Peterhof restaurant serves regional cuisine made with products from farms in Vorarlberg. The views and cuisine offer different highlights: the vista opens up a landscape perspective, while the products connect the meal to Vorarlberg. If you would like to eat there, check the availability of dining services before you travel.
Alpaca experiences in Zwischenwasser
In Zwischenwasser, Hoamat G'fĂĽhl at the alpaca farm offers opportunities to meet the animals at the farm, alpaca picnics and special activities for children. There are also guided alpaca walks, where alpacas accompany participants through meadows and forests and along scenic trails. The formats differ: animal encounters take place at the farm, while guided walks lead through the landscape. Individual activities may vary; advance arrangements may be required for guided walks. Check in advance which activity suits your plans.
