Where?

If you book to ski Nauders in the Tirol, you get an extensive ski area tucked away close to the Swiss and Italian borders that hosts over 110km of varied piste (and some good off-piste too). Your lift pass also allows you to ski at two other local resorts, Schöneben and Haider, across the border in Italy. You can also ski into Switzerland just a couple of miles away. Access is simplest when you fly into Innsbruck at a little over an hour, or for a 2 hours transfer either Bolzano or Friedrichshafen are good.

On the slopes

If you want something for everyone, then ski Nauders in Austria. There's 24 modern lifts serving 117km of piste and a whopping 40% is for beginners. The lifts, which include a six-seater chair, go as high as 2,850m so the snow record is excellent as well as this being a snow-sure location. Skiing and snowboarding in Austria benefit from the excellent snow that the Austrian Alps always seems to get and this is no exception.

Further up the mountain there's treeless, wide slopes, a 9km long downhill, deep powder areas, spectacular FIS downhills and exhausting mogul fields - you cannot get bored here! From an off-piste and freestyle point of view you are well catered for. In the terrain park there is a six meter long straight-box, three kicker-lines (3m, 6m and 7m), one rail-kinked box (6m), one rainbow box (6m), jumps, wave-rides and slides - so you will be kept busy if you want to be. Off-piste there are some great powder areas further up the mountain, which will be challenge enough for anyone.
