Beer & Après Prices in Tschagguns

Perched at the Grappabahn mid-station, Schneeclub Montafon delivers the quintessential alpine après-ski experience without the overwhelming crowds of bigger resorts. The expansive sun terrace offers stunning views down the valley, and the DJ sets start precisely at 2pm, drawing skiers who want to maximise their mountain time. The interior is cozychalet-meets-modern-après, with rough-hewn timber beams, sheepskin throws, and a long bar perfect for standing with your boots still on. The crowd tends toward 25-45 year old skiers who appreciate good music without it drowning out conversation. Come 4pm, the party really gets going, with ski boots abandoned at the door and dancing on tables commencing.

This dark-wood taverna sits in the heart of Tschagguns village and feels like stepping into someone's very comfortable ski cabin. Stube 1900 is the village's living room—an unpretentious venue where locals gather after the slopes close to discuss snow conditions, argue about skiing technique, and argue about football. The walls are lined with vintage ski equipment and black-and-white photos of the resort's history. The crowd is a mix of holidaying families, seasonaires, and retired locals who have been coming here for decades. It's not a club; it's a place for genuine conversation over excellent drinks.

Tschagguns' only dedicated late-night venue packs an impressive punch for a village of its size. The Kuhstall (meaning 'cow shed') occupies a converted agricultural building, retaining original stone walls and exposed beams while installing a proper sound system and dancefloor. It gets packed on Saturday nights and during holiday periods, with a DJ spinning everything from apres-ski classics to current European charts. The crowd is young(ish)—mostly 20-somethings—and the atmosphere is genuinely fun rather than pretentious. Despite the name, it's surprisingly clean and well-managed.

A sophisticated addition to Tschagguns' nightlife scene, Weinkeller Montafon occupies a centuries-old wine cellar beneath the parish church. The vaulted stone ceilings and candlelit atmosphere attract an older, more refined clientele seeking refuge from the louder après-ski venues. The wine list focuses heavily on Austrian varietals—Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Blaufränkisch—with some impressive German and Italian bottles available by the glass. The knowledgeable sommeliers are happy to guide novices or discuss vintage characteristics with connoisseurs. It's ideal for couples or small groups wanting a sophisticated evening.

Located directly at the base of the Sonnenbergbahn, Talstation is the ultimate convenience—ski straight to the bar, dump your gear, and start drinking within seconds of clicking out of your skis. The large terrace faces the slopes, so you can watch the last skiers descending while nursing your first drink of the day. Inside, it's spacious and modern, with long communal tables facilitating the make-new-friends atmosphere that defines good après-ski. The music is louder here than at other mountain bars, creating more of a party vibe. Gets seriously busy during peak season and school holidays.

Meaning 'homeland' in German, Heimat lives up to its name by offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes newcomers feel like regulars. This family-run bar run by the Dietrich family has been serving Tschagguns for three generations, though the current iteration was completely renovated in 2019. The cocktails are surprisingly creative—far better than you'd expect from a small village—while maintaining Austrian pricing. The low-key atmosphere makes it perfect for those seeking conversation rather than competition with the DJ for attention. Regulars include seasonnaire instructors, ski school parents, and older tourists who've been coming for years.
