Evaluation criteria Vail

Snow reliability

Test result

4 out of 5 stars

Evaluated by Skiresort.info, the world's largest test portal for ski resorts.
The evaluation is done as follows

Accommodation

Ski lifts at the ski resort Vail

In Vail, there are mostly high-speed chairlifts and two gondola lifts providing access to the ski area. Unfortunately, none of the chairlifts have weather protection covers. Three platter lifts are available as access lifts and for beginners. Since November 2012, the first 10-person gondola lift with heated seats in North America has been in operation. Conveyor belts complete the range of facilities.

Pfelders in South Tyrol

Skiing in the Passeier Valley

Modern lifts transport visitors to the soft-mobility family ski resort of Pfelders in the middle of the Texel Group Nature Park. Best of all, the lifts are within easy reach of the hotel, even with skis. Great winter experiences await you away from the slopes too.
