Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
Forstau – Fageralm is a low-key resort on a modest scale — 14.2 km of runs for an intimate skiing experience, far from the bustle of the big resorts. This is where people come for peace and quiet, authenticity, and no queues at the lifts to speak of. Forstau – Fageralm's family reputation is well deserved: dedicated beginner areas, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. Forstau – Fageralm's modest altitude — starting at 930 m, with the summit at 1,885 m — makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you leave is strongly recommended. The budget for a stay at Forstau – Fageralm is clearly high: €70 for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence — but you should be aware of it before you set off. In short: Forstau – Fageralm does not rival the giants of skiing, and does not pretend to. It is an honest destination, often underrated, that deserves to be (re)discovered.
