Our take on Rosswald

Rosswald is a low-key resort on a modest scale — 9 km of runs for an intimate skiing experience, far from the bustle of the big resorts. This is where people come for calm, authenticity and no queues at the lifts. Rosswald's family reputation is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, well-groomed green runs and a good-natured atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It's one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for learning to ski with children. With a summit at 2,536 m and a village at 1,820 m, Rosswald's snow cover is generally reliable from January to the end of March. A few exceptionally mild winters can cause strains early in the season, but conditions recover quickly with the first heavy snowfalls. Staying in Rosswald is clearly on the pricier side: a 52€ day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It's the price of excellence — but it's worth being aware of it before you go. In short: Rosswald doesn't rival the giants of skiing, and doesn't pretend to. It's an honest destination, often underrated, that deserves to be (re)discovered.
