On the slopes
Essentially an intermediate skiing area, the terrain does, however, offer ample scope for all grades of skier. Excellent teaching areas are located on the Etape at 1470m and at 1900m on the Signal area, thus ensuring good snow conditions for beginners. The modern lift system with its 8-person gondola whisks you up from the village to Etape and from here there is a selection of chairlifts servicing the higher slopes. The ski school meets the group at Etape, from which they take our groups to suitable areas of the mountain.

FAQs
Find the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
You should book your trip between 12-18 months in advance. This will give you the best choice of accommodation and allow parents plenty of time to save up, but we always welcome late bookings.
We are able to offer you an optional very cost-effective pre-paid excursion programme to suit you. The choice typically includes swimming, bowling, watching a local ice hockey match, a Tirolean evening, ice curling in addition to in-house activities. Full details and prices will be given with your quotation. Please note that snow based activities may not be available at Easter.
Snow Security: Snow cannons operate in all our resorts to assist satisfactory snow cover on the lower slopes. This means in many Austrian resorts, skiing is now possible from early December until late April making Easter skiing an attractive proposition.
Snow Guarantee: We will pay up to £30 per person per day towards additional costs of transport and lift pass if all the lifts in your resort are closed due to adverse weather conditions or lack of snow.
