FISS-LADIS & SERFAUS
The villages of Fiss, Ladis and Serfaus lie high on a sunny plateau above the upper Inn Valley in a quiet
corner of the western Tirol region. These three villages typify the charm of Austria whilst offering excellent
amenities and access to an extensive and truly impressive integrated ski arena, with great snow
conditions right through the season.
Fiss-Ladis & Serfaus Ski, 1200m - 2684m
Fiss-Ladis and Serfaus is justifiably renowned as one of the best high-altitude interlinked and
extensive ski areas in Austria, with 53 lifts, including heated ski lifts, serving 160km of piste. With
its wide selection of beginner’s slopes, long, gentle blue runs, challenging reds and adrenalincharged blacks; this is an extensive and varied ski area ideal for those keen skiers and boarders
who demand the best.
ACCOMMODATION
The nearby town of Landeck, the gateway to
the western Tirol is the location of accomodation
including the popular Schwarzer Adler. Landeck
itself is just a 30 minute transfer from the lifts
at Fiss and has a fine array of shops, bars,
restaurants and cafes to enjoy. We also have
accommodation in Fliess, just 20 minutes from
Fiss, a traditional Tirolean village with plenty
of charm.

FORMIGAL
Overall, Formigal is a picturesque resort which offers superb variety, size and depth, making it the
gem of Spain for ski holidays, for groups who wish to fly.
Nestled in the Aragon region of the Pyrenean Mountains, ski holidays in Formigal promise
excellent facilities for beginners and experts alike, with gorgeous, powdered back-drops to admire
whilst you ski. The modern, purpose-built resort is well-equipped with a quality, high-capacity
lift system which perfectly complements the beautiful stretch of 137km of marked pistes. It’s the
largest of its kind in Spain.
Formigal Ski, 1560 – 2250m
The highest point is Tres Hombres peak at 2,250 m (7,380 ft) above sea level, with a vertical drop of

Formigal’s skiing is on largely north and north west facing slopes, all above the tree line and based
on grassy meadows, free from rocks. The ski area’s location is in a natural snow pocket and in recent
seasons, thanks in part to its extensive snow making, it has been the first in the area to open and
has been able to offer skiing through to the start of May.
