A fairytale gondola lift takes you up to the ski area: each ride lasts just long enough for one of the Brothers Grimm’s fairytales. The slopes in Grächen are very diverse and especially invite sporty skiers and snowboarders. There is a high proportion of challenging runs. Nevertheless, Grächen is a winter sports resort for the whole family, thanks to its wide range of offerings for children. Zwergenparadies, Talentschmiede, and Familienpark are three separate children’s parks for different age groups. In addition, kids (and adults) can practice skiing and snowboarding with lots of fun on a Family Funslope and capture their first successes on the Skimovie course.
