Since 1948, the Ski Club Vigiljoch has been inspiring children and young people to enjoy skiing. With age-appropriate training, Christmas ski courses, as well as Saturday and holiday ski lessons, it promotes fun, exercise, and a sense of community on the slopes – making winter an unforgettable experience!
Silence of winter
In winter, nature on the Vigiljoch fulfills its longing for retreat and silence. Far away from busy ski resorts, five kilometers of easily accessible slopes are only in operation when there is natural snow. Conversely, lonely walks beckon and snowshoe hikes lead nature lovers through the deep tranquillity of untouched winter landscapes.
Winter and snowshoe hikes
When nature withdraws and the first snowflakes fall on trees, pastures and huts, a silence spreads that absorbs all sounds, so that only your own breath and the crunching of snow under your feet can be heard. On the Vigiljoch, nature rules. Meditative tranquillity accompanies winter hikes through forests with a smell of resin and across vast meadows. After abundant snowfall, there is a good chance that you will be able to leave your first tracks over pristine white surfaces on snowshoes. The trails to the huts have good visible tracks. Apart from the Bärenbadalm and the Naturnser Alm, the restaurants on the Vigiljoch are also open in winter.
Snowshoes (without poles) can be rented at the cable car valley station.
Ski fun on natural snow on “RENNSTRECKE”
Those who prefer to take leisurely turns away from the hustle and bustle of busy ski resorts can ejoy peaceful runs on natural snow on the legendary “Rennstrecke” slope at Vigiljoch. Over roughly two kilometres of piste, relaxed skiers will find a natural snow-covered slope and a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of times past. will find pristine and tranquil winter magic on Vigiljoch’s five kilometres of slopes. Pleasure skiers appreciate the deep tranquillity and flair of yesteryear, when Lana’s local mountain was considered the epitome of the alpine ski scene and where numerous ski and fun races were held. The two slopes “Seehof” and “Jocher” remain closed.
And n the “Rennstrecke” the same applies today as it did then: the slopes are open as long as Old Mother Frost allows it.
