Dishes with cheese

How Sura Kees is made

The taste of Montafon Sura Kees ranges from fresh and spicy to tangy. The cheese specialty made from sour milk has been produced since the 12th century. This means that the valley has one of the oldest cheese-making traditions in the Alps.

Sura Kees can be found as an ingredient in the Bŏlma-Nodla. This dessert can be enjoyed savory or sweet. Another cheese classic is the Montafon Keesknöpfli - traditionally served in a wooden bowl with apple sauce on the side.

Maisäß, a piece of an ideal world

The Montafon is a mountain valley with a unique character

The still preserved Corn fields - agricultural areas between around 1,200 and 1,600 meters above sea level - are almost unique in the Alpine region. In the past, the whole family would move to the Maisäß in summer, then to the Alpe and back down to the valley via the Maisäß. This form of alpine farming and the associated lifestyle shaped the people and the landscape.
