✍️ Our view of Wildschönau

Wildschönau offers 98 km of well-marked runs — a mid-sized ski area ideal for a stay of 4 to 5 days without ever doing exactly the same thing twice. The 45 lifts are generally sufficient to handle the flow of skiers in high season. Wildschönau has kept an authentic mountain-village identity, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoilt landscapes and a friendly atmosphere that stands apart from the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. The altitude of Wildschönau (870 m at the bottom, 2,030 m at the top) allows it to maintain decent snow cover in mid-winter. January and February are the most reliable months; in December and March, it is best to check conditions before finalising a booking. The budget for a stay at Wildschönau is clearly high: €72 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 go. In short: Wildschönau keeps its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most types of skier without disappointing.
