Ski area Pfänder

Skiing fun awaits you in Bregenz with a direct view of Lake Constance! The small ski area is located directly on Bregenz's local mountain, the 1,064 metre-high Pfänder. The 80-person Pfänderbahn gondola takes you up to the family mountain, where three T-bar lifts distribute skiers and snowboarders to the blue pleasure pistes. With 3 km of slopes, the ski area is manageable, making it particularly suitable for families with small children or senior citizens. In good snow conditions, advanced skiers can also enjoy 3 km of ski routes, which lead from the mountain station to Dohle or down to Bregenz, for example. In addition, two mountain huts offer enough space for a cosy stop-off. After all, the view alone in this small, fine ski area is worth the trip up.

Those looking for more kilometres of pistes will find numerous other ski areas in the surrounding area, which can be used free of charge with the included "3 Täler Pass" (see ski region).

Après ski Bregenz

Apart from its skiing possibilities, the Pfänder mountain is also a nature discovery mountain for all ages. Some placid hikes on foot or on snow shoes are a must-do for tourists here. A network of hikes of around 30km of non-prepared paths leads e.g. up to Pfänder. If you make up the peak, having crossed 600 m altitude difference, you will be rewarded with a fantastic view over Lake Constance, the Rhine Valley, the Allgäu and the Swiss mountains. On a 30 minute round track through the Alpen Wildlife Park, big and small hikers be able to observe wild boars, deer, Alpine ibexes or mouflons with a bit of luck. Tobogganing is also possible at the Pfänder, just next to the guest house Pfänderdohle there is a child-friendly run.

After a long day on the mountain, the pulsating state capital Bregenz is still awake for a long time. For water rats and wellness enthusiasts, there is the indoor swimming pool in Bregenz for extensive swimming fun and the sauna area in the "Vitalium" to recharge your batteries. The evening starts off comfortably in the numerous restaurants, gallery cafés and beer bars. Later on, you can enjoy a cool drink in one of the various trendy bars or dance in the "Kali". In Bregenz there is something going on almost around the clock, so that the city can also regularly boast of cultural and musical highlights.

Snowpark: Snowpark Bregenz

There is no snow park at the Pfänder, unfortunately. However, freestylers will find a fantastic area only about one hour by car away from Bregenz: the "Burton Snowpark Damüls" in the ski area Damüls-Mellau, where skiers and snowboarders of all levels will feel comfortable and can work on their skills. An experienced crew monitors and maintains this freestyle paradise in a sunny spot. There is a variety of obstacles, such as rails, boxes, kickers, picnic tables and a quarter pipe. The chill out area keeps you entertained with some good music and offers a relaxed atmosphere.

In addition, the Small Park at the Uga mountain station complements the Main Park. Here you can go wild on a 3-player kicker line, a 3-player jib-tubes line, banks and waves. The two parks are of course connected with each other and thus form the new "All Mountain Line" from the Uga top station down to the Walisgaden valley station. Are you able to resist?
