Largest ski area in the front section of the Stubaital

The diverse ski area – accessible in 15 minutes from via the motorway (A13) – offers winter athletes a full program. The high valley of Schlick 2000 provides a snow guarantee thanks to the favorable na- tural snow location and extensive snow-making down into the valley. 10 rustic Alpine huts, lodges, bars and restaurants tempt the visitor with typically Tyrolean dishes and legendary Tyrolean hospitality.
