Schwemmalm Ultental Ski Resort

The ski resort Schwemmalm is situated in the South Tyrolean Ulten valley and features 25 trail kilometers (15,5 miles) for all levels and abilities. The small ski resort is home to the ski stars Dominik Paris and Siegmar Klotz. Moreover it´s the training location of the Italian national team. So one thing is certain: Schwemmalm is a great spot for athletic skiers and real experts.

The height difference is significant by featuring 1150 meters (3772 feet) in the valley of Kuppelwies and 2658 meters (8720 feet) on the peak of Mutegg. Access the ski resort by riding the Schwemmalm gondola, that has its base in Kuppelwies. Especially intermediate skiers are going to enjoy themselves because Sinkmoss run, Schwemmalm run and Asmol run are all red and are slightly better for skiers with more experience.

If you don´t feel safe enough on your skis just yet then check out the training runs serviced by the training lift. Even the little ones don´t miss out: The ski kindergarten Bährenhöhle takes care of kids between three and eight years and the youngsters actually get to explore one or the other adventure. Located right at the mountain station Schwemmalm is Schwemmys snow world. Dive into a fairytale world of ice and snow. Schwemmys snow world is literally a castle made out of snow, that invites for hours of  playing and going crazy. The heated tepee is great for warming up after an expanded snowball fight.  

Newest highlight at Schwemmalm is BAGJUMP, that guarantees an adrenaline rush for everyone. Overcome the kicker and after a  free fall you will land safely on an air cushion.

If you decide for a vacation here you should definitely taste the South Tyrolean treats. Those are available at the comfy mountain restaurants of the ski resort. At the top station of the chairlift Breiteben there is the restaurant Breiteben where you can choose between self service or the usual restaurant set up. If the small hunger creeps on you, then just get a snack at snack stall Larchegg. The ski trail St. Moritz boats a eponymous mountain hut that is as cozy as they come. Check out the restaurant Schwemmalm at Dreimandl trail as well.

Asmol trail and Kircheler trail are particularly great for carving.

Enjoy the beautiful winter landscape of Ulten valley. This is perfect to leave the hassle of your every day life behind you. The calmness and beauty of the nature offer a great source for relaxation. On your way you can stop at one of the typical snack-bars and enjoy a drink or snack that is characteristic for the region. Participating a guided tour with Sepp or just guided by yourself- a winter hike in Ulten valley is always a blast.
An action-filled activity for the family winter vacation is tobogganing. Every Wednesday, the toboggan run is lighted until 7 pm. Start at the parking lot of Weiberhimmel. A 20 minute walk away you´ll find the starting point of the toboggan run. Further, the Albl terrain park also features a 200 meter (656 feet) long tubing run.

Look for the Apres-ski bar Bockstodl right at the top station Breiteben gondola, which is the perfect starting point for your first drink of the day. The bar of the restaurant Schwemmalm at Dreinmandl trail is also perfect for starting into your Apres-ski fun. After, continue to Weiberhimmel at base station of the chair Breiteben.

The surrounding towns feature countless restaurants, where you get a taste of the famous South Tyrolean cuisine. Especially recommendable is the restaurant of the hotel Arnstein in St. Gertraud. The stylish ambiance plus the affectionately preparation of the dishes speak for itself but tourists and local also come here because the restaurant only uses regional products. A special experience is having a meal on the Mariolberger Alm, that even got awarded by real gourmets. Guests get spoiled with wild herbs courts and barbecue specialties from the charcoal grill. The meat comes from their own production.
