With terrain that suits all levels — from gentle beginner slopes to intermediate red runs and challenging descents — it’s a resort that welcomes both new skiers and seasoned mountain-goers.

Thanks to its high altitude and efficient snowmaking systems, the resort guarantees a long and snow-reliable season.

One of the highlights is night skiing on selected evenings in Berwang, with floodlit slopes creating a magical winter atmosphere. In addition, a scenic toboggan run offers family fun, while cozy alpine huts scattered across the resort serve local specialties in a warm, inviting setting.

Sustainable development in Berwang/Bichlbach/Rinnen

Sustainability is a growing focus in Berwang and its neighboring villages. The resort operates with an emphasis on environmental protection, responsible tourism, and regional sourcing. Many of the mountain huts and guesthouses use local ingredients, contributing to a shorter supply chain and supporting Tyrolean agriculture.

Public transport is integrated into the resort experience, with regular regional train connections to Bichlbach-Berwang station and bus links between the villages. This reduces traffic in the area and encourages more climate-friendly travel.

Trail grooming and snowmaking are managed using energy-efficient systems, while local authorities promote soft tourism — favoring quality over quantity to preserve the area’s natural beauty and cultural identity.

Unforgettable experiences in Berwang/Bichlbach/Rinnen

Beyond skiing, Berwang offers a variety of memorable experiences that invite visitors to connect with nature at their own pace.

Snowshoeing tours and winter hiking trails take guests through snow-covered forests and to peaceful alpine meadows. These slower-paced activities offer an opportunity to enjoy the silence of winter and the spectacular mountain views without the rush of the slopes.

Traditional huts, such as the Jägerhaus or Hochalm, often serve as rest points along these routes. Here, guests can warm up with a hot drink or enjoy hearty Tyrolean dishes like “Gröstl” or “Kaiserschmarrn,” all served in a rustic and welcoming atmosphere.

For families, the Kinderskischule Berwang provides top-notch instruction in a fun and safe environment, while the Mooslift beginner area is especially popular among young skiers making their first turns on snow.

Berwang/Bichlbach/Rinnen in summer

In summer, Berwang, Bichlbach, and Rinnen transform into a green paradise of hiking trails, bike tours, and alpine meadows. More than 300 kilometers of marked hiking paths start directly from the villages, leading to high mountain lakes, wildlife observation points, and scenic ridgelines.

The Tier- und Spielpark in Bichlbach is a favorite for families — a small zoo and adventure playground where children can get close to mountain goats, rabbits, and deer. Adventure seekers can also enjoy mountain biking, climbing, or paragliding from nearby peaks.

One of the most rewarding hikes is the route to the Heiterwanger See, a stunning alpine lake just a short drive or bike ride away. Boat rentals and swimming spots await in summer, offering a refreshing contrast to mountain exploration.
