In the town centre is the Natrun ski area. This is mainly a beginner/intermediate area but serves to link up to the main ski area of the Aberg (2000m) which has a large selection of blues, reds and blacks. You can also catch a ski bus to the Aberg from outside the apartments.

From the Aberg you can connect up to Hinterthal, Mulbach and Dienten. With very little British tourists and hardly any lift queues, you only need to take a look at the piste map for this area to realise that this is one huge unspoilt and undiscovered gem.
