Located in Bregenzerwald, right at the foot of the impressive Kanisfluh Mountain, the picturesque surroundings are enough to make you feel like you are in another world.

Whether you are an expert skier or a beginner, the slopes at the Damuls-Mellau ski resort will have something that suits your level.
