The Alberschwende ski resort is quite low at 721 metres, and with a highest lift at 1200 metres, in a low snow winter, this could be a problem.
The resort is best suited to intermediates and beginners, with nothing for expert skiers. Alberschwende ski resort offers “night skiing”, including for snow boarders.
Interesting fact: Albershcwende is the birth place of the “SOS-Kinderdorf” founder Hermann Gmeiner.
