Should you want to take a break, you can enjoy the magnificent mountain and panoramic view at its best from the restaurants’ sun terraces.
In the ski area many Gasthäuser, with large sun terraces and snow bars, wait to be discovered. Even after your last descent of the day, the fun continues in the valley. For party-loving skiers and snowboarders the "Ski-Inn" pub is the place to be, with live bands performing on Saturdays. If you want to round off the evening more quietly, many restaurants are available and wait to spoil you with regional and international specialities.
