At the start of the season finale of the Silvretta Montafon, there was once again a crowd favorite to be seen live this year.
On Saturday, April 1st, Andreas Gabalier performed in front of around 10,000 visitors. The popular Vorarlberg band The Monroes made a guest appearance as the opening act. The now legendary open-air event at the Valisera Bahn mountain station created a great atmosphere among the guests. The ski area is open until the middle of the month: On Saturday, April 15, the “Forever 80s Party” will take place at the Nova Stoba at the end of the season, and the best outfit will be awarded a Montafon Brandnertal annual pass.
“Like in the old days”
For the fourth time, the Austrian folk rock’n’roller Andreas Gabalier gave a completely sold-out concert at the start of the season finale in the Silvretta Montafon on Saturday, April 1st. Around 10,000 visitors celebrated at the Valisera Bahn mountain station. The Vorarlberg band The Monroes was the supporting act. “We are very happy that this year we were able to ring in the start of the season finale like ‘in the old days’. The atmosphere on site was sensational – the audience was completely happy. Nice that the weather for the finale was also nice, with snowfall and light sunshine , played along so well. My thanks go to our team, which has again implemented a top event, for which we are now known far beyond Vorarlberg’s borders,” emphasizes Peter Marko, Managing Director of Silvretta Montafon. Andreas Gabalier himself was also delighted. “It’s always a special experience for me to play in front of this impressive mountain backdrop and in front of this great audience,” says the artist.
80’s party at the end of the season
The winter season in the Silvretta Montafon lasts until the middle of the month. For winter sports enthusiasts, the slopes of the ski area are open until Sunday, April 16th. The crowning glory of the season is the Forever 80s Party on April 15th in the Nova Stoba. “With the ‘Forever 80s Party’ we want to celebrate the end of the winter season properly and at the same time celebrate the 80s. We are happy about the stylish outfits of the guests and about dusty, long skis – as was customary at the time,” explains Thomas Ettenberger, Head of Marketing at Silvretta Montafon, the motto of the party. From 12 noon DJ Sebastian Bronk spins hits from the 80s in the Nova Stoba. “Songs like 99 Luftballons, Gross National Product or Eye of the Tiger invite you to dance and from 3.30 p.m. even the best 80s outfit will be awarded. The main prize is a Montafon Brandnertal annual ticket. So it’s worth taking part”, concludes Ettenberger. Admission to the party is free.
