Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis

Besides the 214 kilometres of slopes, combination skiers will find twelve official off-piste routes. This is the perfect place for freeride beginners to gain their first off-piste experience, enjoy the deep snow and benefit from the exemplary markings on the routes.

 

 

Deep-snow beginners wll love the “Adlerroute”. This stretches all the way from the summit of the Zwölferkopf (2,596 m) parallel to the Adlerpiste and down to the Schöngampalm (1,882 m). Advanced riders will discover weightless heaven on earth in the “Skyline”. At the reservoir pond below Schönjöchl (2,509 m), this short and moderately difficult deep-snow run branches off to the right from the Frommesabfahrt downhill run and ends directly at Frommes Alp (1,700 m). The absolute highlight for ambitious deep-snow divers is and remains the ski route with the descriptive name, “Kamikaze”. Similar to a dive-bomber pilot, you fall almost vertically from the Zwölferkopf summit (2,596 m) down towards Möseralm (1,820 m). When the Kamikaze ski route is opened for the first time after fresh snow, it is known as the deep powder dream of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis!

The Snowpark Fiss caters for medium to advanced riders and is located on the north side of Fiss and can be reached by taking the Schönjochbahn to the top station. The easiest way to come to the Snowpark Fiss is via the Plazörabfahrt.

 

 

The Snowpark Sefaus fun area is the ultimate playground for all jib riders. It stretches along the Zanbodenabfahrt which can be reached by taking the Planseggbahnbahn. The various boxes and rails are suitable for all ability levels. Snowpark Sefaus provides a clear structure. Riders can tune their skills on three lines: Beginner Line, Advanced Line and Pro Line. The lines are parallel to each other. Sports enthusiasts can ride on them without having to stop. That means, that you can experience pure shred fun!

 

 

The Fun Slope Serfaus at Planseggbahn in Serfaus caters for rider level: blue, red and black. The highlight of this park is the big kicker line. This line guarantees you air-time and allows you to take off from ground three times. The kicker line comprises of three kickers with two jumps of different sizes. 

 

The Shred Park lies on the North Side of Fiss, can be reached from Fiss via Schönjochbahn. Leaving the top station, turn right to get access to the Shred The park consists of numerous boxes, tubes and rails in one continuous line. The size of the Shred Park is impressive. It is located at the Schönjöchllift and its length is almost the same as the lift itself.

The First Track service in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis enables early risers and piste enthusiasts to be the first to take to the freshly groomed slope. The offering includes a guided tour (a valid ski pass is required) and an exclusive mountain breakfast served around 9.30am at the Ski Lounge in Serfaus or the Zirbenhütte restaurant in Fiss.

 

Snowboarders will meet with the perfect challenge and can put their skills to the test on the “Frommesabfahrt” – which, at about ten kilometres, is one of the longest pistes in Austria. Those who like things edgy will plump for the Direttissima – which, with an average gradient of 70 percent, can be a real test of nerves. “One of my favourite ski slopes is the “Zwölfer-Sportiv”, as it’s not only challenging but also wonderfully scenic,” explains Ski School Head Martin Stark. Might this perhaps also have something to do with the legendary “Zirbenhütte” restaurant that’s situated at the end of the black piste and beckons with a large sun terrace, a quaint atmosphere and first-class typical regional cuisine at the end of the sporting challenge?

 

If you are keen to experience night skiing, then you can do this on a Tuesday in Fiss and on a Wednesdays in Serfaus.

Two TOP ski and snowboard schools teach the youngsters skiing or snowboarding. In the Kinderschneealm und Murmlipark areas reserved only for them in Serfaus, as well as Berta’s Kinderland in Fiss-Ladis, the children are playfully and lovingly introduced to skiing by ski instructors. Without any pressure to learn, with plenty of patience and variety, and with romping, singing and playing in between – and, above all, in each child’s native language. In addition, the two mascots Murmli and Berta accompany the small skiers, making them laugh on this or that adventure ski run and theme piste. “We look after babies from three months old, and at the Ski School Serfaus and Fiss-Ladis, the kids already learn to ski from the age of three,” says Martin Stark, the Head of the Ski School Fiss-Ladis. “But we also offer quite a bit more than that,” he adds, smiling.

 

 

Both ski and snowboard schools in Serfaus and Fiss-Ladis place particular emphasis on the highest quality of instructions possible. The wide range of ski lessons offered includes classic downhill skiing for all ages, Telemark skiing and cross-country skiing. Ski School Fiss-Ladis has exclusively developed and tested a global innovation for teaching children to ski: the ‘SNOW-V’. Ski rookies learn how to brake or control their speed by gliding on two rails that automatically make them form a V (the ‘snow plough’ or ‘wedge’ position).
