Top Ski Resort Kleinwalsertal
For the second time, Austria’s Kleinwalsertal was named the most successful Alpine holiday destination. This was the result of a study by BAK Basel Economics, which compared 100 regions. Kleinwalsertal is the only region to rank among the top 15 in both summer and winter. Holding on to the top spot for the second time is a great distinction. Zermatt in Switzerland came in second.
Kleinwalsertal is family-friendly
Kleinwalsertal is family-friendly. Skiers and snowboarders will find mainly easy to intermediate runs. Each of the three main towns—Hirschegg, Mittelberg and Riezlern—has its own ski area. Riezlern is probably the largest, as Kanzelwand is connected to Oberstdorf’s Fellhorn. With 24 kilometres of immaculately groomed pistes, ski and snowboard fans will find ideal runs.

Kleinwalsertal is part of Austria’s Vorarlberg, but can only be reached by car from Germany. Accommodation ranges from inexpensive, simple huts to luxury hotels. The wide range of leisure activities, including wellness programs, makes Kleinwalsertal a holiday paradise. And, of course, there is the picturesque landscape, one of the most beautiful valleys in the Alps.
Mittelberg’s Walmendingerhorn offers plenty of variety and short wait times. This small area is a hidden gem, with challenging slopes for experienced skiers and snowboarders.
Hirschegg’s Ifen ski area offers a wide range of runs for all ability levels. Beginners and experts on skis and snowboards, as well as families, will find a winter sports paradise here.
The top snowboard event will be the “Wir Schanzen Tournee” Iron Night on 16.02.08. Enjoy exciting floodlit competitions at Crystal Ground, followed by the awards ceremony. The FUNK party with DJs afterwards is almost legendary.
