Damüls – Mellau – Faschina
Also known as Damüls-Mellau
About the area
With about 102 km of pistes, Damüls-Mellau-Faschina in Vorarlberg is a solid all-round area. Beginners are well served: 40 km (40%) of the runs are green or blue, there are 9 magic carpets for first turns and 9 short easy runs sitting right next to a lift base. Families benefit from the same layout plus 2 gondolas, so small children can avoid chairlift loading. Intermediates get 32 km of red. Experts should note the caveats: there are 27 km of black, expert and freeride terrain (26%), but the longest vertical on a single run is only 284 m.
The area spans 689 m to 2021 m and is served by 31 lifts, including 15 chairlifts and 2 gondolas. The longest run measures 1309 m. Cross-country skiers have 28 km of trails, and 1 km of piste is floodlit.
