Family skiing holiday in the Wipptal

The Wipptal valley is a real insider tip for families who like it quiet and relaxed. The family ski area of the Bergeralm Ski and Leisure Arena is manageable yet varied. Winter sports newcomers can practise their first turns in Noah's Kinderland or rest tired legs in the cosy Bear's Nest, while experienced skiers and parents can enjoy a variety of pistes and modern lifts.

We recommend it because:

  • it is a manageable yet varied family ski area
  • the "Bärennest" is a cosy and supervised play area for tired offspring to relax in
  • there are two family-friendly accommodation options just a few metres from the Bergeralm cable car valley station
