Saumnaun, the duty free aera of Switzerland

by rebibi - last update: Apr 3, 2004

Silvretta Arena

View from our hotel
Saumnaun lies in the easter part of Switzerland, only 20 km away from the austrian border.
It's a duty free zone; especially gas and perfume are about 30% cheaper there.
Samnaun has also an excellent ski aera. You ski the Swiss and Austrian (Ischgl) part and you almost never realize the border. We enjoyed a very nice week there, with powder snow and blue sky.
Gondola

the gondola

This two-storied gondola takes you up from Samnaun to Alp Trida Sattel. There you are already in the middle of the biggest ski area in the eastern alp. The gondola is made for 180 people, has a length of 2300 m and starts at 1840 m to 2562 m.

The mountains

At each peak you discover a new gorgeous panoramic view.

 I was in the Engadine last trip and missed this find. I would have bought lots of perfume for me and everyone else. Wish I had looked here before last years trip. Just have to come back.

 This skiing area stretching over two countries is really one of the greatest in the Eastern Alps. Nice pics and useful info. (I am often there).
