About agriculture in Silbertal
Silbertal is located in the Montafon valley in the Vorarlberg region of western Austria, set deep within the dramatic peaks of the Rätikon and Verwall mountain ranges. The surrounding rural landscape is defined by steep alpine slopes, dense forests, and high-altitude meadows that stretch toward the rugged mountain ridges.
Agricultural production in this high-alpine environment centers almost exclusively on traditional livestock farming, primarily cattle grazing. During the summer months, cattle are moved to high-altitude pastures, known as 'alps,' where they graze on nutrient-rich grasses, forming the basis for the region's characteristic dairy production, including alpine cheeses and butter.
For farm workers and agronomists, opportunities are mostly seasonal, revolving around the intensive summer grazing period. Work involves managing alpine pastures, fence maintenance, and helping with the traditional 'Alpabtrieb'—the driving of cattle down to the valley before winter. Expect physically demanding work in challenging, vertical terrain, requiring experience with mountain livestock management.
