Small, exquisite, and sustainable: the Jungholz Ski Resort on the Sorgschrofen in the Allgäu Alps

The Sorgschrofen, a mountain around 1,600 metres high in the Allgäu Alps, connects Jungholz with the rest of Tyrol. Although situated on Austrian territory, you can only reach the village and the ski resort via Bavaria. Jungholz is Austria's smallest enclave. In December 1948, the Tannheimer Valley's first ski lift opened here, and much has changed since then. The Adler Chairlift and the Sorgschrofen Lift start directly in the village and transport you up into the snow.
Families, in particular, appreciate the easy and intermediate slopes as well as the two child-safe chairlifts. There are dedicated areas for the youngest skiers: the Snow Learnland and the popular N'Ice Bear Kinderland with its archway run, fun figures, and warming fairytale igloos. The Grizzly Family Snow Park, next to the new Schwand Lift, has been added for older children and teenagers.
You'll find relaxation in the quiet areas of the Sun Island with their wicker beach chairs and loungers. The Sorgschrofen descent back to the valley is divided into two sections: The upper part is intermediate, the lower part easy. The Schrofenhütte and the Bischlagstadl, two mountain huts located directly on the piste, invite you in for a cosy break. The piste-grooming machines run on biofuel, thereby contributing to sustainability.
