Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
Hochwang is a small, understated resort: 20 km of runs for an intimate skiing experience, far from the bustle of the big resorts. This is where you come for calm, authenticity and no queues at the lifts. Hochwang's reputation as a family resort 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. Hochwang's altitude (1,544 m at the base, 2,299 m at the top) helps it keep a decent snow cover through the depths of winter. January and February are the most reliable months; in December and March, it's worth checking conditions before finalising a booking. A stay in Hochwang is clearly on the expensive side: €58 for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that rank among the priciest in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short, Hochwang doesn't compete with the giants of skiing and doesn't pretend to. It is an honest, often underrated destination that deserves to be (re)discovered.
