We playfully introduce the little ones aged 3 to 5 years to skiing in play groups. There's something for everyone here: Romping around in the snow, building a snowman, having a wild snowball fight – fun is guaranteed here!

In bad weather, the play area invites you to race, paint, do handicrafts or romp around in the ball pool. One thing is for sure: it will NEVER get boring in the Kunterbunt children's club!

We don't have to hide when it comes to culinary delights either. Chef Andreas Gratz cooks the way we are: Original & good. The secret ingredients of our cuisine, which has meanwhile been awarded 2 Falstaff Gabels, are actually not so secret at all: passion, love for the original product and a good pinch of creativity. Variety plays a very important role in our cuisine and we also like to take a look beyond the region's culinary horizons - but always with the awareness that sustainability is part of it.
