Skiing on Präbichl
Präbichl ski resort extends all the way up to over 1,600 metres above sea level. Skiing enthusiasts can expect not only 20 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes but also breathtaking scenic views. From the sunny slopes, you’ll have a wonderful view of the Eisenerz Alps and the Eisenerzer and Vordernberger valleys, for instance.
The Funslope is a ski run of a different kind and great fun for family members of all ages. On the course, one extraordinary obstacle follows the next: bumps, small jumps and a giant snow snail including a tunnel are waiting to be discovered. Along the way, you’ll meet the resort’s mascot, "Slopy", and come across a high-five element with an extra sound effect.
Alone or in a group: Learning to ski or snowboard is a piece of cake thanks to the support of experienced instructors. Alpfox Ski School on Präbichl offers lessons for all skill levels and ages. Convenient: If you book a course, you’ll get a 20 per cent discount on rental equipment.
Speaking of rental equipment: Skis, snowboards, sledges and anything else you need for a fun day on the slopes can be rented at the Präbichl/Vordernberg valley station. If you want to book your equipment as you plan your holiday, simply make an online reservation for the desired gear.
For Adrenalinjunkies
a different kind of adventure on the slopes
Gliding down into the valley on a snowbike, making perfect turns off-piste or competing in entire Winter Olympics together - the Alpfox skiing school at Präbichl offers all of this and much more.
Snowbiking is even easier to learn than you might think: after a short introduction, you will quickly have carving, braking and steering under control. Two small skis under your feet provide additional balance and make winter biking a safe alternative to skiing that is easy on the joints - ideal for all age groups.
Riding in deep snow is great, but riding in deep snow and knowing what you're doing is even better. First-class, experienced ski instructors and mountain guides will teach you how to put avalanche awareness into practice, how to plan a ski tour and how to make the right tracks on a freeride course.
