Location & area
Ski holidays in Berwang
Ski holidays in the highest village of the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena: Berwang sits on a sunny saddle between Bichlbach at the Fernpass and the Rotlech valley.
A fantastic location
Central and quiet
Quietly away from the main road, with a view of the mountains and the Zugspitze.
Restaurants, the “Laden mit Pfiff” grocery store and the church are right next door. The terrace facing south and east is a sunny spot from February. More shops in Bichlbach, 3 km away.
Winter

Ski lifts
Sonnalmbahn and Sun Jet six-seater chairlift: a few hundred metres, an easy walk.

Ski touring
Four summits for touring skis
The most popular ski tours around Berwang start in the village or a few kilometres away – from a short first outing to a ridge ascent.
-
Hönig2,034 m
Start Berwang-Brand · approx. 700 m ascent
Berwang's own mountain: about 700 metres of ascent from the hamlet of Brand to a broad summit looking straight down on the village. Its steep, treeless grass slopes are known to be avalanche-prone in winter – a tour for experienced ski tourers only, and only when the avalanche situation is safe.
-
Galtjoch2,109 m
Start Rinnen · approx. 1,000 m ascent · 2½–3 h
From Rinnen along forest roads and through the woods to the Ehenbichler Alm, then up open slopes to the summit. Considered beginner-friendly, with an all-round view over the Lech valley, the Allgäu and the Wetterstein range as far as the Zugspitze; the descent usually follows the ascent track.
-
Almkopf1,802 m
Start Berwang · approx. 450 m elevation gain
A short tour, popular right at the start of the season: past the Heiterwanger Hochalm and through open forest to the free summit slope. At the top, a view of the Zugspitze and down to Berwang; keep away from the steep flanks off the route.
-
Engelspitze2,291 m
Start Namlos · approx. 1,000 m ascent · 2½ h
From Namlos up the west ridge to the summit, moderately demanding: the narrow summit ridge calls for confident kick turns. The route passes a wildlife feeding area, so go in daylight only. Descend the way you came or through the Kelmer Kar to Kelmen.
Information without guarantee. Plan every tour yourself and check the avalanche bulletin and current conditions on site.
Spring, summer, autumn
Four seasons
Flower meadows in spring, mountain hikes in the summer sun, golden autumn above the misty valleys. Once the snow has gone, the hiking options multiply.
