Vorarlberg and the Bregenzerwald are one of the snowiest regions in Europe, so there is plenty of natural snow in the Damüls Mellau ski area. A free 2 minute ride on the skishuttle takes you to the Mellaubahn with 10-seater gondolas. The beautiful and award-winning ski area with over 100 kilometers of slopes is the perfect mix of perfectly groomed, wide ski slopes on sunny south and shady north slopes (great conditions until spring) and a backcountry where freeriders get good clean fun.
The Mellau ski school offers a varied program on and off the slopes. It ranges from children's lessons, to adult, snowboard and private lessons. Freeriding, ski tours, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and fun sports are also guided. The ski school office and the meeting point are at the Mellaubahn valley station - easy to reach from Hotel Bären with the free ski shuttle "Dorfblitz". Professional ski instructors and the children's favorite "Brumi" guarantee quick learning success. You find more Information here: Skischule Mellau.
Several sports shops just a few steps away from the Hotel Bären offer first-class advice and an extensive range of rentals. Test the latest ski models and snowboards or try snowshoes, touring skis or cross-country skiing equipment. You can also reserve your rental skis online.
