A total of 25 kilometers of perfectly prepared slopes are available to beginners and advanced skiers. For snowboarders, there is a half pipe and a boarder cross area. And there are also many challenging off-piste areas due to the excellent snow conditions. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, numerous other recreational activities are offered, such as speed riding, dog sledding, snow buggies, snowshoeing, ice diving and paintball.
In summer, the ski area turns into an outdoor action park. Young and old can enjoy a diverse and exciting vacation here. How does taking a hike on horseback or by 4x4 jeep instead of walking sound? Archery or go-karting will awaken the sporting ambitions of children and parents alike. For those who want an adrenalin rush, the bike park and four-cross downhill run provide just the right challenge.
