Flexible ski passes, free ski buses, equipment rental, and ski schools on-site make your skiing experience especially comfortable.
Good to know
The "Die Börse" ski rental is located right in the city center, about 10 minutes walk from our hotel. The offered pick-up and delivery service offered is a great benefit: the equipment is brought to our hotel and can simply be left here when you leave. There is also the option of renting the equipment from 3:00 p.m. the day before at no extra charge. So you can start skiing right away the next morning. Alternatively, there is a ski rental on site in most ski areas.
Nordkette
The lift on the Seegrube is perfect for the first attempts on skis, especially for children. Toboggan rental is also available. Due to the proximity to the city - with the Nordkette cable car you can be on the peak in 20 minutes - a short trip for a few hours is worthwhile too.
Axamer Lizum
With its 40 kilometers of pistes, the Axamer Lizum offers a wide range of options for skiers, snowboarders and freeriders. The area offers great snow conditions throughout the season due to the location and snow-making machines. Axamer Lizum can be reached by ski bus in 45 minutes.
