Great Value Skiing on monte popolo Eben –                Perfect for Families

The "Peoples' Mountain" fame has increased rapidly. With its claim to being "small but beautiful" and its great family specials, the area is perfect for families. Ski tots will love the newly created adventure run at the top station of the popolo II chairlift and the children's adventure land. Teens will be thrilled by the terrain park with great rails, Daring skiers can try to beat an Olympian's time on the self timing speed run named after the top skier Andrea Fischbacher. Whenever you need a break from skiing and boarding on the wide, perfectly groomed slopes, you will enjoy the cozy mountain cabins serving delicious food.

Daniel Mairamhof, the innkeeper, has wholeheartedly specialised on local produce and selected wines. Hence, it is for a good reason that the hut 'Krummholzhütte' has become Austria's  '1. Genusshütte' and it has been presented the award "Europe's most popular ski hut 2013 & 2011".

Many celebrity guests come together here, as, for instance, for the event "Schneegenuss mit Haubenkoch Johann Lafer!" (delicacies with top chef Johann Laferl) or for the shooting of Hansi Hinterseer's "Wintertraum in Schladming"!
