Resia Holiday Area
in winter
Snow-covered peaks, crisp and clear mountain air as well as never-ending slopes, cross-country ski trails and a real variety of tours - isn't that all you need for the perfect winter holiday? Well, the Border Triangle region offers even more. Snowshoe hikes to snow-covered mountain huts, fast-paced fun on 4 different toboggan runs or ice skating and snow kiting on Lake Resia are certainly the icing on the cake.
Skiing
It's off up the mountain! The Schöneben-Haideralm family ski area, which is blessed with sunshine, is located at an altitude of 1,450 to 2,390 metres above sea level on the Passo Resia. There are fifteen lifts and 65 kilometres of variety-packed slopes offering diversity for snow bunnies of all ages and all skill levels - whether on skis or snowboards. Qualified ski instructors are on hand to help newcomers to the slopes, big and small, learn all the fundamentals and find the style that's just right for them. Of special interest to record hunters: the ski area offers the longest descent in the Vinschgau Valley at 700 metres and leads winter sports enthusiasts near to DAS GERSTL Family Retreat (600 metres distance).
Cross-country skiing
Aim high even on flat trails. Around 26 kilometres of groomed cross-country ski trails lead through glistening snow, sunny fields and sparse forests at Lake Resia. The Border Triangle trail, which stretches all the way to Nauders in Austria, is especially popular. Snow is absolutely guaranteed even in mild winters: the Weisskugel cross-country ski trail in Langtaufers, which meanders around 17 kilometres through wild, snow-covered nature, and the Langtaufers high-altitude cross-country ski trail at 1900 m guarantee winter fun - which means a double dose of great views.
Ski touring
An adventure awaits just around the corner: the side valleys of the Passo Resia Holiday Area, such as the idyllic Rojen Valley or the LANGTAUFERS VALLEY at the foot of the mighty Ötztal Alps, make the hearts of true ski tourers beat that little bit faster. Slopes offering all exposures and unspoilt nature guarantee magnificent powder snow experiences away from the busy ski pistes.
