The cable car ride was very steep but comfortable and once we reached the top it was well worth the ride. There was still snow and skiiers in May which made for a great atmoshere. There are good facilities when you get to the top, we did not ski but enjoyed the snow, had a few drinks and some lunch.

I liked the whole experience from driving up in a Train, to the views from the Summit, the Beer and Food in the Restaurant and descending with the Cable Car, it is one of a life time Event.

We had a great day's ski-ing here - before the English holidays started. It was too busy for comfort after that. There was an amazing deal for kids (up to age 15) ski-ing on Saturdays - just 10 euros for the ski pass.

It's your end of season option when in our case Areithbahn was not offering top notch snow. It gets crowded in the morning and around noon. But the slopes are quite wide and numerous so you should enjoy yourself. Less 'chalet' options for a drink but quality skiing.
