The slopes

Beginners

(Crystal rating 3)

(5 minute bus ride away) where the gondola takes you up to further nursery slopes at the 'Horn Boden'.

Intermediates

(Crystal rating 4)

This area is an excellent choice for intermediates. The main skiing access is via the Wiedersbergerhorn gondola. You can enjoy long, often tree lined, red runs across the whole area, offering some beautiful views.

Advanced

(Crystal rating 2)

The off-piste run down to Hygna (only advisable with a guide) will excite the advanced skier and there are also some black runs to be found on the Wiedersbergerhorn.

This is a resort fully behind snowboarding, having played host to the ISF World Pro Tour. Enjoy wide open runs, a fun park and 2 half pipes!
