The three villages of Ehrwald, Lermoos and Biberwier form a triangle at the base of the magnificent Zugspitze on the Austro-German border. All three villages are traditionally Tyrolean, unspoilt by over-commercialism, and each has its own characteristics, varying from Lermoos on a wide, barn-dotted, sunny plain, to Ehrwald nestling at the foot of the Zugspitze with its quiet meandering streets and impressive range of shops, bars and cafes.

This snow-sure resort offers the beginner one of the best progressions known to us. Commencing with the rope tow and drag lifts on the wide safe runs in Ehrwald itself and progressing to the Ehrwalder Alm, accessed by telecabine, with a long gentle blue run through the trees to the base of the Alm. The lift pass incorporates all three villages and the Zugspitze, guaranteeing skiing right into the summer on the Zugspitzplatt.

Lermoos provides a more testing ski area and the introduction of a six person telecabine has reduced the dreaded queues to a minimum. In fact, queuing in this idyllic resort is a rarity. Although the villages are not linked, the use of your own coach will enable you to ski all three areas and enjoy the full range of skiing available. The Zugspitze will provide the ultimate experience of skiing at nearly 3000m in a wide safe bowl serviced by a dozen lifts.

A varied après-ski programme is available and completes the make-up of this truly favourite Austrian skiing experience.
