Ski slopes

Start your morning with breakfast in Bludenz and find yourself on the slopes just a short drive later. Located in the scenic Klostertal valley, Sonnenkopf is an excellent choicefor a day in the mountains.

With more than 30 kilometres of ski runs at elevations between approximately 1,000 and 2,300 metres, Sonnenkopf offers varied terrain for different skiing abilities. Unlike most Alpine ski resorts, it relies entirely on natural snowfall, making it particularly appealing to those who appreciate skiing on natural snow.

Families can enjoy wide, accessible slopes and dedicated beginner areas, while more experienced skiers will find challenging runs and opportunities to explore powder terrain after fresh snowfall.
