Ski-in/ski-out

Nauders is a traditional village on the Reschen pass; hotels are in and around the village, a short hop from the Bergkastel gondola.

Get to know the resort

Nauders perches on the Reschen pass at the three-country corner of Austria, Italy and Switzerland, a traditional Tyrolean village with 110 km of high, sunny piste rising to 2850 m. The aspect and altitude make it reliably snowy, and the wide, quiet runs are a joy for intermediates who like space. Far from the famous Tyrolean honeypots, it offers big-mountain skiing at notably gentle prices.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 0 green, 35 blue, 50 red and 12 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 1400 m and the top reaches 2850 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 84/100).
  • With 110 km of piste on 17 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know in a long weekend.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 20 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
