No snow park, few difficult slopesDescription Berwang/Bichlbach/Rinnen
In Bichlbach, the road splits: you can either park right in Bichlbach and glide into skiing fun with the Almkopf Kombibahn (eight-person gondolas and six-seater chairlifts with weather shields), or you can turn into the Berwang Valley and drive up to Berwang at 1,336 meters, the highest village in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. From here, you can access the ski circuit just as easily as from any other lift.
The Sonnalmbahn, a detachable four-seater chairlift, takes you directly up to the Hochalm (1,610 m). This is also where the Kombibahn from Bichlbach ends. There are beautiful forest runs of easy to intermediate difficulty leading down to Bichlbach. A wide, easy slope leads back to Berwang, branching off to the Bärenbadlift in the upper section. Just before the Sonnalmbahn valley station, the slope splits again, and you can use the modern 10-person gondola Obere Karbahn I and II to glide over to the Thanellerbahn six-seater chairlift. The runs below the 2,343-meter-high Thaneller are mostly easy to intermediate, with one difficult piste, and you can ride the lifts up to 1,720 meters.
You reach the Rastkopf double chairlift by turning off from the upper part of the Thanellerkar and gliding along a long connecting trail to the valley station. From the Rastkopf (1,743 m), you can ski down to Rinnen, and a drag lift takes you back up to the Rastkopfbahn valley station. From the mountain station, you can also ski over gentle alpine meadows to the Mooslift connecting lift. The Mooslift provides the link to the Thanellerbahn. To get back to the Sonnalmbahn, it is recommended to ski from the Thanellerkar to the Egghof Sun Jet, as this way you don’t have to push and can quickly float back up the mountain with the Sonnalmbahn.
There are cozy huts in the ski area for a break, such as the Kögele Hütte on the Rastkopf or the Heiterwanger Hochalm. Après-ski is not a major focus here, but there are some charming umbrella bars and sun terraces. There are also a few venues in the village where you can round off your day.
