Welcome to Bramberg

Winter in Bramberg

The region enjoys abundant snowfall from late November to April, thanks to its north-facing valley basin and core ski zone, situated between 2,021 and 2,233 meters in elevation. These high-altitude slopes ensure consistent conditions throughout the season, which typically extends from December until well after Easter.

Even as spring begins to emerge in other parts of the Alps, skiing in Bramberg remains in full swing, with daily temperatures often staying below freezing through March.

This family-friendly resort is ideally located halfway between the Zillertal and Kitzbühel ski areas. The new Kitzbühel gondola is just five minutes by car or ski bus opening up all 220kms of skiing in the Kitzbühel Alps.

The Wildkogel Arena provides 75 kilometres of slopes, 85% of which are blue or red, making it an ideal destination for beginners and families. Modern lifts give access to these pistes, with smooth and efficient transport up the mountain.

The area is also home to the world’s longest illuminated toboggan run, a 14-kilometre thrill ride from the mountain down to the village.

Beyond skiing and snowboarding, Bramberg caters to a wide range of winter activities. Cross-country skiers can explore over 45 kilometres of groomed trails, while winter hikers and snowshoers can traverse serene Alpine landscapes.

For those seeking more unique experiences, options include snow tubing, sleigh rides, and even traditional ice-stock sports.

Families with young children are well taken care of, with dedicated children’s areas at mountain lift stations, friendly ski mascots Kogel-Mogel and Kogel-Mia, and ski schools that specialise in beginner and kids’ lessons.

The Tauern Cycle Path is a standout, guiding cyclists through picturesque valleys and along serene rivers.

Indeed, the Wildkogel Bike Arena was chosen by “Bike” magazine as one of the Alps’ best biking areas.

For those seeking unique summer adventures, mountain go-karting provides a thrilling experience.

Families will also love the Kogel-Mogel Adventure Arena, where climbing towers, trampolines, and other attractions keep younger visitors entertained.

Nature is a highlight of any summer visit to Bramberg.

On warm days, natural swimming lakes in Neukirchen and Hollersbach provide refreshing escapes, complete with recreational amenities like volleyball and tennis courts.

For golfers, Mittersill Golf Club is just five minutes away by car, while the courses at Kitzbuhel and Zell am See are both within easy reach.
