The Ski Resort
A children's lift and a drag lift are available with more than 1 km of slopes. You will experience great summit views, for example of mount "Großer Griesstein" (2023m). Extra tip: Not far from the lift, approx. 150m, you will find the warm and cosy forest sauna with direct access to the mountain stream and a small indoor pool where you can warm up after skiing.
