Nauders
About the area
Nauders Bergkastel is mostly a red-run mountain: 25 km of the 49 km on offer are red, with 12 km of blue and only a token green. That makes it strongest for confident intermediates. Experts get 11 km of black, expert and freeride terrain (23% of the area), including 6 km of marked freeride and one run with 775 m of vertical, but the choice is limited rather than deep. Beginners and families have real starter ground — 9 magic carpets and 9 short easy runs next to a lift base — though only 25% of the pistes are green or blue.
The ski area runs from 1,342 m up to 2,734 m, so the upper slopes sit high. There are 21 lifts: 1 gondola, 7 chairlifts, 3 T-bars, 1 platter and the 9 carpets; with a single gondola, small children will often face chairlift loading. The longest descent measures 2,647 m. Off the pistes there are 27 km of cross-country trails and 2 km of floodlit skiing.
