• Resort Guide

The peaceful, sunny village of Fieberbrunn is the perfect place for your family ski holiday. Set in the heart of the Kitzbüheler Alps, the lift pass also includes the popular nearby resorts of St. Johann and Waidring, linked by regular ski bus. Fieberbrunn itself offers a great range of skiing for all abilities and enjoys an excellent reputation for fine snow conditions. The perfect piste-side location of the Sporthotel Fontana makes it a superb base for everyone from keen skiers to mixed ability groups and families!

Resort Statistics

• Highest Lift: m

  Fieberbrunn is a large village in the Pillersee Valley of the Kitzbüheler Alps. It has built a reputation on multiple levels, with particularly good facilities for families on and off the ski slopes, and a status as a major snowboarding centre that has grown since the earliest years of the sport.
  
  The local ski area is small compared to many of the giant ski areas of today, but that gives it a more intimate and less intimidating feel for beginners and intermediates. The resort also participates in several regional lift tickets providing access to neighbouring resorts which can multiply the skiing available by a factor of 20 if required. It is also slow by modern standards but the ski area does sit in a snow pocket and has a good snowfall record, plus extensive snowmaking back up and north facing slopes.

  Beginners

  Beginners have nursery slopes by the village and, particularly useful when snow cover isn't great at village level, up on the mountain. The ski school meeting point for all course members is the middle-station of the gondola Streuböden, right beside the guesthouse Streuböden, with courses running from Sunday to Friday from 10am to noon and from 1 – 3pm available.

  Intermediates

  As the terrain in the ski area is predominantly intermediate level blues and reds, there is plenty to entertain here, with runs up to five kilometres long. The local slopes are probably not quite extensive enough to provide more advanced intermediate skiers with enough variety over a week, but the Schneewinkel Pass which provides access to the skiing at neighbouring areas including St. Johann in Tyrol – linked by a ski bus service - will be more than adequate.
  
  If you do need still more the Kitzbuhel Alpen Pass covers about 700km (440 miles) of piste in the area, including the lifts and runs of Austria's largest area, the Skiwelt, and best known resort, Kitzbuhel, both nearby.

  Advanced

  The best skiers and boarders will find several marked black runs and challenging off-piste terrain on the Reckmoos and Hochhörndl. Both ski schools offer deep snow skiing / freeriding courses and guided tours for skiers or snowboarders, including avalanche awareness. They welcome both those new to off piste terrain and the more experienced.

  Snowboarding

  One of Europe's top destinations for snowboarders, Fieberbrunn has built its reputation thanks to the "Lords of the Boards" operation which includes a dedicated boarding school, terrain park, half pipe and competition programme.
  
  The large terrain park has something for all ability levels, as well as a chill out zone and bar. The resort has been staging major international boarding events for more than a decade, with the Snowboard Masters World Cup including slalom and pipe events in 1997 and the first ISF European Snowboard Championships ("Lords of the Boards") a year later.

  Other Activities and Facilities

  The Aubad adventure swimming pool complex includes an indoor swimming pool, outdoor swimming channel to the outdoor massage pool as well as a children's pool. There's also a sauna village with Finnish sauna, steam sauna, organic log cabin sauna, sauna garden and a massage section.
  
  Cross country skiing is popular here. At 15km the Dandler trail is the longest and easiest whilst for an intermediate level try the two kilometre Reither trail or the 10km Weissach loipe. There are also about 10 winter hiking tours around the village, each lasting from one to two hours.
  
  If you'd like to move faster with less effort, the two kilometre long Direttissima tobogganing run is floodlit daily until midnight. You either need to hike over the Pletzergraben to the Hochkogel café where you can rent a sledge (a 90 minute walk) or in the daytime you can ride up by the Rosenegg Abschlepper T bar or you can take a taxi anytime.
  
  Fieberbrunn has also become a centre for snow kiting whereby you are taken around a course on your skis or board, over small jumps, towed by a giant stunt kite. In the neighbouring resort of Hochfilzen you can try out the sport of biathlon once a week, where you cross country ski between stops to shoot at targets in a rifle range. A World Cup event in this very exciting sport is staged here each December.

  Après Ski and Dining Out

  Usually one of the livelier resorts, Fieberbrunn has about 30 bars and restaurants to choose from. Après ski normally begins in one of the slopeside ice bars and continues in the Riverhouse where there's often live music or the Dos Piranhas cocktail bar amongst others. The Tanzbar Tenne nightclub on Dorfstrasse opens at 9pm nightly.
  
  Dining options are predominantly hearty Austrian mountain cuisine but you will find pizza establishments and a less common Mexican option.

  Families

  Fieberbrunn has established itself as a major family resort and has two different well-equipped ski kindergartens for children aged from two-and-a-half. Mc Dumboland, situated at the valley terminal of the Doischberg lift (next to the yellow gondola cabins), is a ski play area complete with two convey lifts.
  
  Expert but fun tuition is provided with small group sizes to maintain quality. A full week's programme of varied activities begins on Sundays each week. It includes children's aerobics, games, dressing up, Children's Olympics, race day and an afternoon picnic on the last day.
  
  A second facility is operated by another ski school. The Kinderskischule-Tatzi-Club also has a magic carpet conveyor lift.
  
  Older children are equally well catered for. One option is to try out new snow fun sports like snowblades, funcarver, carverlinos, twin tips and other 'new school' equipment with the motto "Everything is allowed."
