The Wildkogel Arena is one of the most charming family ski areas in Austria – easy to navigate, with a personal touch and a delight for beginners and experts alike. Around 75 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes at over 2,100 metres above sea level invite you to practise, carve and enjoy. The valley run leads directly to the hotel, and with short distances and the e-LINER stop right on the doorstep, getting your ski day started is especially convenient.

On the mountain, numerous attractions and small challenges await adventure-loving piste fans. In the Kinderland Kogel Mogel, playful practice, laughter and learning take place with magic carpets and lovingly designed learning stations – perfect for those first turns in the snow and all-round excellent supervision, so that parents can enjoy their skiing with complete peace of mind.

Whether at the practice lift right on your doorstep, in the Kinderland Kogel Mogel with magic carpets in the Wildkogel Arena, as part of a ski course with attentive supervision, on the Funslope, in the Family Park, or tackling little challenges such as Skimovie and Speedcheck – your ski holiday is packed with possibilities and provides the perfect setting to have tons of fun in the snow together.

Up by gondola, down on skis – and when you get peckish, numerous mountain huts and alpine pastures beckon with hot chocolate, Kaiserschmarrn and a cosy little spot in the sun. Anyone looking for even more piste kilometres will find plenty of variety in the nearby Zillertal Arena or at KitzSki – ideal for a short family outing and fresh perspectives.

Anyone looking for even more kilometres of pistes will be in excellent hands in the Zillertal Arena or at KitzSki – two of Austria’s best-known ski areas, both only a few minutes’ drive or a short ski bus ride away.

Only around 20 kilometres separate you from the Zillertal Arena – the largest ski area in the Zillertal, with 143 kilometres of pistes and 52 modern cable cars and lifts. Here you can expect wide-open slopes, breathtaking views and varied terrain to suit both pleasure-seekers and sporty skiers alike. With the free ski bus, you'll be in the thick of the skiing fun in no time.

Even closer is the KitzSki ski area – just 10 kilometres from the hotel. Just hop on at Hollersbach by the Panorama lift and off you go to lofty heights, onto legendary runs, and to the famous Kitzbüheler Streif, which you simply must experience at close quarters at least once. In total, there are 170 kilometres of pistes here, with perfect grooming, state-of-the-art facilities and genuine alpine flair.
