Sunny skiing with the whole family in Mittelberg
Enjoy a spectacular skiing experience and plenty of sunshine in the Kleinwalsertal


Spring is approaching, and the ski season is coming to an end? Not here in the Kleinwalsertal—not by a long shot! Here, you can enjoy the warming rays of the sun and glistening snow while skiing in the sunshine well into late spring. So you’d better not put your ski gear away in the basement just yet.
Whether it’s the Walmendingerhorn, Heuberg, or Ifen—the ski resorts in the Kleinwalsertal are all just a short trip away from the Rosenhof. We at the Rosenhof are here to give you tips to make your sunny ski trip with the whole family an unforgettable experience. What are you waiting for?
1. Sunscreen is essential for skiing in the sun
Whether you’re young or old, sunscreen with a high SPF is a must for every skier. The higher up the mountain you go, the more UV rays hit your skin. On top of that, the snow reflects the sun’s rays, and your skin is even more sensitive in winter than in summer. Avoid sunburn at all costs and protect your skin and lips from the intense mountain sun. It’s best to apply sunscreen 45–60 minutes before hitting the slopes!
2. The early bird catches the worm
We recommend that you start your morning ski run right after breakfast. The freshly groomed slopes in the morning are a dream! Children and beginner skiers especially appreciate the untouched runs. Keep in mind that as daytime temperatures rise, the snow often becomes heavy in the afternoon, making skiing a bit more strenuous.
Our tip: Starting March 1, the Olympiabahn will begin operating at 7:45 a.m. as part of the Early Bird Skiing program in Ifen. So hop on one of the first gondolas and enjoy skiing in the early morning hours.
3. Breathtaking Views
The mountain panorama in the Kleinwalsertal is truly breathtaking. In bright sunshine, the snow-capped mountains look especially impressive—they rise into the sky in an almost majestic way. Take every opportunity to enjoy the panoramic views that await you while skiing in the sunshine!
4. Lunch break at a mountain hut
Skiing makes you hungry! Find a rustic alpine hut with a sunny terrace and feast on Austrian specialties like Kaiserschmarrn or apple strudel. There’s something here to satisfy every sweet tooth. Once you’ve recharged your batteries, the adventure of skiing in the sun can continue!
The ski resorts in the Kleinwalsertal are the perfect place for a sunny day of skiing with the kids. With a variety of difficulty levels, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. As a family, you can marvel at the magical, glistening snowy landscape on the mountain while skiing in the sunshine.
The kids don't know how to ski yet? No problem! The Kleinwalsertal has ski schools that offer package deals for groups of children and teens, as well as private lessons. So nothing stands in the way of a family vacation enjoying some sun-filled skiing in the Kleinwalsertal. We look forward to seeing you!
