Ski area Bödele-Schwarzenberg
The Bödele-Schwarzenberg ski area within sight of Lake Constance offers a varied winter sports experience with around 25 kilometres of piste and 12 lift systems. On the one hand, the gentle slopes on the Hochälpelekopf (1,467 m) are very beginner-friendly with a total of 9 km of blue pistes, while advanced skiers and snowboarders can explore 12 km of red or 4 km of black descents. A highlight is the challenging Schwarzenberg descent, some of which offer spectacular panoramic views. The naturalness of the ski area is particularly popular with families, who are occasionally greeted personally by the ski area mascot "Rübe" and find special children's areas as well as ski schools and practice lifts for the little ones.
There are also rustic huts and guesthouses right next to the pistes, where traditional Austrian cuisine is usually served after a cosy stop-off. Another plus point of Bödele-Schwarzenberg is that the ski area is just 10 km or 12 minutes by car from Dornbirn, making it ideal for day trippers.
The "3 Valleys Pass" also allows you to enjoy carefree ski area hopping. The lift pass is valid in 31 ski areas in Vorarlberg, Tyrol and Allgäu with a total of around 360 kilometres of piste (including ski routes).
And in the Diedamskopf ski area (36 km) in Schoppernau, the Grunholz lift is open for night skiing every Wednesday and Friday from 7 to 10 pm. These two offers are included in the "3 Valleys Pass".

Snowpark Bödele-Schwarzenberg: Snowman parcour course
In honour of the Bödele ski area's mascot, the snowman, a small but beautiful snowpark has been created between the Lanklift and Schanzenblicklift. Young and old can test their acrobatic skills on skis on the 150-metre-long parcour course. The course starts at the large toucan pillar, past turning figures for high-fives, ski boxing or high-fives, before heading over one or two kickers to the finish line.
