Laterns is nestled in Vorarlberg, an Austrian state between Switzerland, Bavaria and Tyrol. The peaks of the Alps extend as far as the eye can see and offer your stay an idyllic setting, just a stone’s throw from Lake Constance.

Laterns, a family-friendly place

Laterns (or Laterns Gapfohl) is one of the most authentic resorts in Austria. Rather confidential, it has the reputation of offering accommodation and access to the ski resort at very reasonable prices. The ski area is located above the hamlet of Innerlanters, with 27 km of slopes spread between 1040 and 1785 m. You can ski 11 km blue, 12 km red and 4 km black slopes. Freestylers of all levels will find their happiness in the snow park, which is located next to the Nob chairlift. The grand jump, kicker and rails allow you to perfect your jumps, but also your tricks. The Falba Stuba restaurant is located in the heart of the ski resort, where you can enjoy a meal in a picturesque setting. Numerous ski instructors are at your disposal to take care of your children and accompany them on their first descents.

A destination surrounded by nature

The Laterns ski resort is criss-crossed by forests, with many slopes winding through the pine trees and some even venturing into the powder snow. In the ski area you can explore 11 km of marked, untracked snow for unforgettable ski tours or freeride excursions. In addition, there are numerous prepared routes available for hiking or snowshoeing, what is a must? Travel for half a day with a guide to explore the area off the classic routes while staying safe. If you are looking for the thrill, head to the start of the 4 km long natural toboggan run. Attention: This is a technical route that you have to cover lying on a small speedster, as you can see during the Olympic Games, but on an artificial ice rink. The experts of our partner at the foot of the ski area are waiting for you for your cheap ski rental or your hiking equipment.

A cosy after ski

Once the slopes are closed, all skiers can enjoy themselves in Laterns. Cafés and bars await you for a delicious snack or a cozy aperitif. Do not hesitate to open the doors of the rustic restaurants in the village to discover the local specialties. Order spaetzle sprinkled with local grated cheese or Riebel, a type of polenta from the region, to strengthen yourself. If you still have energy left, there are several dance-floor venues where you can party into the night.

Laterns is located in a breathtaking natural landscape and has a ski area where beginners and advanced skiers can have fun. This picturesque village will make your mountain holiday a relaxing break in a scenic setting.
