Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis kicks off the winter season on 8 December 2022
Whether alone or with the family, whether on skis, a snowboard or snowshoes, the holiday region Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis surprises all guests year after year with many activities on and off the slopes. But that’s not all. Breathtaking panoramas, countless hours of sunshine and wonderful moments of enjoyment make you forget everyday life and guarantee an unforgettable break. From 8 December 2022, the cable cars will resume operation and transport winter holidaymakers up into the fantastic winter worlds of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis.
Finally time to ski again! Or would you prefer snowboarding? Or how about winter hiking? In Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, snow fans enjoy a fantastic, almost magical lifestyle with many activities and experiences on and next to the slopes. Mountain hut owners, lift operators and snow sports instructors are ready for a great winter season. This lasts 18.5 weeks this year, or 130 days in other words. In fact, the cable cars whir from Thursday, 8 December 2022 to Sunday, 16 April 2023.
A lifestyle that is second to none
For those who don’t know: more than 20 years ago, the two ski resorts of Serfaus and Fiss-Ladis in the Upper Tyrolean Inntal valley joined forces to offer 214 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes for all levels of difficulty. And that is not all: to the left and right of the slopes there is also an extensive range of activities with snowshoe tours, cross-country trails, natural toboggan runs and winter hiking trails. Incidentally, the younger guests are not neglected, because the region has long established itself as a popular family ski resort under the slogan “We are family!”.
If you want to get an overview of this fantastic lifestyle of the winter worlds of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, it is best to take a short break before you start on the Frommesabfahrt slope. On the new viewing platform at the Schönjoch summit cross, at 2,509 metres above sea level, you get a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and peaks: in clear weather even as far as the Zugspitze in Germany, the Ortler in South Tyrol and the Tyrolean Wildspitze.
Events in the snow
Anyone who thinks that after so much action and a full day in the fresh mountain air, it’s already the end of the day in the three mountain villages is mistaken. For many, the fun really starts when dusk falls. Finally, there is something to celebrate again, and residents and guests alike are delighted. One of the event classics is the Adventure Night “Fairy Tale” in Serfaus every Wednesday with spectacular and colourful show performances. From 21 December 2022, the breathtaking spectacle will start with a laser show, artists and acrobats who work for the Cirque du Soleil circus and the impressive ski show of the Ski School Serfaus.
At the Nightflow “Rock the Snow” in Fiss, cool dancers, acrobats and daring stuntmen rock the brilliant ski jump and the snow sports instructors of the Ski School Fiss-Ladis at the Nightflow Arena. After the premiere on 29 December, the Nightflow takes place every Tuesday. Anyone who likes winter magic should visit Magic Ladis. From the premiere on 22 December 2022, a unique mix of cosy winter atmosphere, traditional live entertainment and culinary delights will reign there weekly on Thursdays in front of a breathtaking backdrop directly below the mighty Laudeck castle. The “Fire and Ice” show, a figure skating performance, will thrill visitors to Magic Ladis with a spectacular light and fire performance, which will take place on 31 January 2023 at the castle pond in Ladis.
Everything revolves around enjoyment at the new SnowArt Genussfestival. On the weekends from 9 to 11 and from 16 to 18 December 2022, there is no better way to enjoy culinary and musical delights directly on the slopes or in selected mountain restaurants. Regional delicacies such as the Zammer Sonntagshendl (chicken speciality) or “Fissky Imperial”, a Tyrolean single malt whisky, are just waiting to be tasted. By the way, the right rhythm is ensured by more than 20 live bands and individual artists featuring a variety of sounds from rock, pop, folk music, funk and Schlager. Of course, blues and jazz fans will not be disappointed either. The Leithe Wirt, the Seealm Hög, the Komperdell Panoramic Restaurant, the Lassida restaurant and the Skihütte Masner will be part of the programme in Serfaus, as well as the Sonnenburg Family Restaurant, the Möseralm restaurant, the BergDiamant Panoramic Restaurant and the Zirbenhütte restaurant in Fiss-Ladis.
Tip: it’s time for night-time skiing on the mountain on both Saturday evenings. Live music and culinary delights will not be lacking then either.
