The Smuggler’s Run Gold is one of the longest and most challenging ski runs in the world. The new ski run takes you from the Austrian side of the border into Switzerland.
The best viewpoints are at Palinkopf (2,864 m), Piz Val Gronda (2,812 m) and on Muller (2,509 m). The Smuggler’s Run Gold takes you via piste no. 80 directly to the village of Samnaun, where you can find many duty free shops.
The Smuggler’s Run Gold will take you about 4 hours to complete.
We recommend starting this run early in the morning.
Did you know ... in the past contraband such as coffee, rice, flour, tobacco, saccharin, spices, etc. were smuggled across the border from Samnaun to Ischgl?
