There are two roads going up to Samnaun, one from Switzerland and one from Austria. The usual way to get there is by car, or bus. The nearest major airports are situated in Zürich and Innsbruck.

Transhumance in the Alps, or seasonal migration between valley and high pastures (German Almwirtschaft, Alpwirtschaft from the term for "seasonal mountain pasture", Alm, Alp) is a traditional practice that has shaped much of the landscape in the Alps, as without it, most areas below 2000 m would be forests. While tourism and industry contribute today much to Alpine economy, seasonal migration to high pastures is still practiced in Bavaria, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Switzerland, except in their most frequented tourist centers. In some places, cattle are taken care of by local farmer families who move to higher places. In others, this job is for herdsmen who are employees of the cooperative owning the pastures.
