Due to its idyllic location, Sautens rather offers a quieter and more relaxed apres ski atmosphere. In one of the quaint guest houses you can end the day cosily. Nature lovers will appreciate the lovely surroundings during a walk. Party animals and all those who prefer apres ski a bit more lively, can visit the nearest resorts Längenfeld and Sölden. Here you will find apres ski pubs, discos and numerous other possibilities to end the skiing day with a good party.

Nature lovers will surely enjoy the lovely surroundings and they can venture out to explore them on a walk or a hike. Romantic torch-lit snowshoe hikes in the evening might also be an option.

A highlight for the whole family is a go on the 1.5 km long, illuminated toboggan run. Or maybe try yourself in curling. Daring winter sports fans can also participate in an ice climbing tour. There are a number of organisers locally, who offer these tours.
