The Bregenzerwald is all year round a holiday region for families; culture interested ones, hikers, sport enthusiasts and epicures. But most of all for the ones which shy away from the trouble of too much drive and seek harmony and calmness and landscape. The Bregenzwälder have built their ski regions prudently. 94 ski lifts in 22 villages make 259 kilometres of slopes possible. Each year the villages and lift companies invest into comfort improvements: lifts are renewed; restaurants and huts build new or are renovated. Artificial snow cannons make sure that there is always enough snow. Varied: ski entertainment with the 3-valley pass. Those who are more than two and a half day skiing in the Bregenzerwald will have the problem of choice. The 3-valley pass is valid for more than 30 ski resorts in the Bregenzerwald, in the Großes Walsertal, in Balderschwang (Germany) and in the Lechtal in Tirol. Cross-country skiing, nordic walking, winter hiking with or without snow shoes, the possibilities of discoverig and enjoying nature beyond slopes in all its beauty and calmness are various and grow from year to year.
