Al Dassler, have
stayed in the valley. Some of the older folks still talk about the long
nights in Schruns playing cards and drinking with Ernest Hemingway and
John dos Passos. The Snows of the Kilimanjaro and several other novels
and short stories were written in, or they contain material from, the
Montafon and the Silvretta glaciers. Later, the famous German novelist
and poet Erich Kästner repeatedly visited the valley, as did the former
German chancellor Helmut Kohl. The noted opera singer Elisabeth
Schwarzkopf spent her last years in Schruns, where she died on August 2,
2006.
The Montafon is famous for skiing, hiking, and mountain
biking. There are two 9-hole golf courses, one in Tschagguns and one in
Partenen
