Hotels in Samnaun

For skiers and shoppers, Samnaun is a unique proposition high in the Swiss Alps. This duty-free enclave, connected to Austria’s Silvretta Arena, offers over 238 kilometers of perfectly groomed international ski terrain. The main draw is the combination of high-altitude, snow-sure slopes like the Piz Val Gronda area and the chance to purchase watches, spirits, and goods without Swiss VAT. In summer, the same cable cars whisk hikers and mountain bikers up to the Motta Naluns plateau for epic trails with views stretching to the Ötztal Alps.

Samnaun suits active travelers, from families drawn to its wide, sunny pistes to couples seeking a scenic and shopping-focused retreat. The village is compact, with most hotels and apartments located conveniently near the main Compatsch cable car station. You’ll need to arrive by road, as there’s no direct train; the Postauto bus from Scuol-Tarasp station is your link from the Swiss rail network, or you can drive through Austria via the stunning Fimber Pass.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find eight places to stay, ranging from traditional, family-run guesthouses to modern, full-service hotels with spas. The accommodation scene is dominated by comfortable, mid-range hotels and apartments that prioritize ski-in/ski-out access and panoramic balconies over sheer luxury.
