Ski area Damüls-Mellau
In the alpine part of the Bregenzerwald lies the Damüls-Mellau area, which is divided by the Mittagsspitze (2,095 m). On one side lies the former World Cup resort of Mellau, on the other the tranquil Walser village of Damüls. The ski areas are connected by ski lifts. With around 94 kilometres of slopes (including ski routes) – linked by 21 lifts – you’ll experience a ski area for connoisseurs that also offers sporting challenges (e.g. at the Hasenbühel chairlift).
The child-safe 8-seater chairlift and the Sunnegglift are equipped with covers and heated seats. In addition, the Mellaubahn takes you into the ski area in glass-enclosed 10-seater gondolas over a distance of approx. 2 km.
Things get really challenging on the northern slopes of the Sunnegglift and on the Suttisteilhang – show what you’re made of and then enjoy the wide slopes, or venture down the longest run, stretching 8 km, into the valley to Mellau.
Snowboarders have a huge selection of wide runs to choose from, and freeriders will also find plenty of ideal terrain with untouched powder slopes. For the freestyle crowd, the Burton Snowpark offers a vast "playground".
Night skiing Damüls-Mellau
Night skiing in central Vorarlberg is centred on the Faschina-Fontanella ski area, around 3 km from Damüls. The Gugernülli lift on the outskirts of Faschina (1,486 m) has extended operating hours in winter for night-time skiing fun. From December to March, night skiing for young and old takes place here every Thursday from 18:00 to 21:00. All holders of a valid lift pass ski for free on the floodlit piste. The floodlit piste is accompanied by atmospheric music, giving night skiing a particularly cosy touch. The night ski piste is easily accessible by ski bus from Damüls, Mellau and Au (for a fee if necessary).Après ski Damüls-Mellau
If you want to get some exercise in the fresh air, you can take a hike through the beautiful winter landscape. A total of 22.5 km of trails are cleared for you. Or dare a speedy descent on the 3.5 km long Uga natural toboggan run, which is floodlit in the evening.
Snowpark Damüls-Mellau: Damüls snow park
Damüls, together with Mellau the largest ski area in the Bregenzerwald, advertises itself with the slogan "The snowiest village in the world". What comes to mind if you love freestyle and also enjoy gliding through deep powder snow? That's right, this area is not to be missed! Safe powder snow slopes and varied descents make the heart of every deep snow fan beat faster and attract boarders from the surrounding villages to the area.
The Damüls snow park in the Bregenzerwald is the largest fun park in the region and offers freestylers a varied selection of over 45 features, including kickers, rails and boxes. The park is divided into different areas such as the Mainpark, the All-Mountain-Line and the Kids Park, which are suitable for beginners and pros alike. The All-Mountain-Line offers a continuous descent from the Uga mountain station to the Walisgaden valley station. Regular events and contests make the Damüls snow park a lively meeting place for the freestyle community. Who can resist?
