Sankt Jakob In Haus: Skiing, Cross-Country Skiing and Buchensteinwand

Sankt Jakob In Haus combines winter sports at Buchensteinwand with family-friendly ski runs, cross-country skiing, tobogganing and winter hiking. If you are looking for accommodation for a skiing holiday, you will find not only days on the slopes here, but also opportunities to spend time together away from the ski runs.

Winter sports around Buchensteinwand

Sankt Jakob In Haus is located directly at the foot of Buchensteinwand. The area offers family-friendly ski runs around Buchensteinwand and Pletzibär Park. The local facilities also include chairlifts and drag lifts. A chairlift transports passengers while seated, whereas a drag lift pulls them uphill using a towing device. These two terms therefore distinguish between the types of lift; on their own, they say nothing about the length or difficulty of the ski runs. Cross-country skiers will also find trails in the village. Cross-country skiing is possible on one of the sunniest trails in the region. Other options for planning your day include a floodlit toboggan run as well as cycling and hiking trails. The winter offering is therefore not limited to alpine skiing. The term family-friendly refers to the ski runs around Buchensteinwand and Pletzibär Park; this classification does not apply to the other winter activities. Sankt Jakob In Haus can also be explored while winter hiking. A path leads from Sankt Jakob In Haus to the summit of Buchensteinwand. The Jakobskreuz has four viewing platforms at a height of 19 metres, which can be reached by passenger lift and are also conveniently accessible for wheelchair users and people with physical disabilities. This accessibility refers to the viewpoint and does not automatically apply to all paths or facilities in the village. The year 1308 refers to the first mention of the church in connection with an annual payment, and not automatically to the time when it was built.

Family time and alternatives without skiing

Familienland Adventure Park is a leisure park with an indoor play hall in Sankt Jakob In Haus. The park also has Tyrol's largest Dead Sea salt grotto. In addition, the floodlit toboggan run and winter hiking provide further explicitly documented options for days when not all travellers want to pursue the same sport.

Culture in the village

The parish church of St. Jakob in Haus is the village's landmark and has artistically valuable interior furnishings. It was first mentioned in 1308 in connection with an annual payment. Inside are Baroque statues supplied by Georg Faistenberger in 1692. They depict the weather saints John and Paul as Roman officers. The church adds a historical and art-historical aspect to a winter stay.
