Skiing
Did you know that the very first ski lift in Middle Europe was built 1907 at Bödele? Ever since then, skiing is a tradition and a must.The Bödele ski area with its 9 lifts and 24km of well-prepared skiing slopes from beginner to advanced level is located just in front of our house and highly suited for families with children.
Right next door you will find a ski rental shop as well as the Ski School Bödele. Within a 2 km radius there are 10 further top skiing areas of our region – even Lech am Arlberg. By the way, the ski bus stops right in front of our hotel.
Cross-country skiing
Right next to our hotel you will find the nature reserve area “Fohramoos”, through which two of the most beautiful cross-country skiing trails pass. Depending on your endurance you can choose between a 3 km and 9 km trail that guides you through untouched alpine nature and idyllic pastures.For a special occasion you can also make use of the trails after sunset – a unique experience you will never forget.
Sledging
Sledging is by far one of the best ways to enjoy winter. Especially children love the great sledging hill we have in front of our house when meanwhile the adults try to warm up inside.“Ready, set, go!” A family-friendly and natural sledging track will guide you through an idyllic hiking trail all the way to Ammenegg. By bus, you can easily return to the mountain pass and our hotel. For your convenience, you will also find a sledge hire outlet close by
