The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are falling. What makes many people uneasy, triggers pure anticipation for snow enthusiasts. For many people, skiing down the mountain and doing laps in the powdery snow is a poor winter holiday activity. If you don't want to go on a winter holiday in Scandinavia , we have 5 tips for glamping in winter in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
We have picked out 5 great glamping accommodations for skiing for you, where the nearest ski lift is less than 2 kilometers away. This will get you on the slopes even faster!
1. Tip: Glamping in a fine wooden igloo in Switzerland
If you like things small but nice, the wooden igloo at the Ätzmannig campsite in Goldingen is an insider tip. With an area of 12 square meters, you can make yourself comfortable in the large version of the glamping accommodation with up to 6 people thanks to the pull-out bed. However, in winter we would recommend occupancy with fewer fellow travelers, as snowsuits etc. but take up quite a lot of space. The wooden igloo is an inexpensive way to get onto the ski lift directly from the campsite. The wooden igloo has good insulation and strong heating, but no private bathroom. That's why in the evening it's always time to put on your snow-proof shoes and quickly scurry over to the sanitary facilities.
The campsite is located at the foot of the Atzmännig – Goldingen ski area , which has 8 kilometers of slopes and 5 lifts. The Atzmännig – Goldingen ski area in the canton of St. Gallen is at an altitude of 830 to 1,200 meters and is open from mid-December to mid-March. The ski area has predominantly blue and red slopes. So it's ideal for beginners and advanced users.
2nd tip: Glamping in a cozy alpine hut in Carinthia
If you're looking for more space and comfort while glamping, you'll find what you're looking for in one of the two rustic alpine huts in Reichenau . Each cabin has hot running water and a fully equipped kitchen. The shower and toilet are located directly opposite in the shower huts, where each house has its own area. With 6 rooms there is enough space for a maximum of 8 people. Guests of the alpine huts receive a discount on the multi-day ski passes, which are valid for all of Carinthia and East Tyrol. There is also a motorhome parking space right next to the cabins.
The hut is located in the middle of the ski area and in just 10 minutes on foot (or alternatively 2 minutes by car) you can reach the Panoramabahn, from where you can start into the entire ski area. The Turracher Höhe ski area has 42 kilometers of varied slopes and 14 cable cars and ski lifts. The mountain station is at 2,205 meters above sea level. There are mostly easy and medium-difficulty slopes, but also two black ones. The winter sports area also has a special feature: the longest fun slope in the world, at 1,500 meters! Special effects, dynamic steep curves and special obstacles await you on the fun slope. Great fun for the whole family is guaranteed! After a long day, you can quickly get back to the glamping accommodation.
3rd tip: Top-rated log cabin at the Dreiländereck campsite in Tyrol
The Bergzauber log cabin has an incredible 4.9 out of 5 stars on glamping.info. The glamping accommodation is located on a spacious open area on the edge of the Dreiländereck campsite and has enough space for a maximum of 6 people in two bedrooms. A cozy seating area with a pellet fireplace invites you to relax after a sporty day on the slopes. There is even a wellness area on the campsite grounds that can be used.
From the ski resort of Ried in the Oberinntal, various ski areas can be easily reached, all of which have a good altitude. The Kaunertal , with an altitude of 1,400-3,200 meters, is a snow-sure and quiet ski area to which a ski lift starts directly from Ried in the Oberinntal. Due to the high location, the ski season often begins in September and lasts until May. In the Kaunertal ski area there are mainly easy and medium-difficulty slopes, which means you can particularly enjoy the wonderful nature on gentle descents. The Kaunertal Glacier is also located in the ski area. A real highlight!
4th tip: Rustic alpine hut on the Grubhof campsite in St. Martin near Lofer
The alpine huts in the Almdorf on the Grubhof are original alpine huts that were dismantled in the Salzburger Land and rebuilt on the campsite grounds. This guarantees an authentic hut feeling! The 80m² living space of the glamping accommodation extends across the floors. The alpine hut can accommodate 4-8 people in 4 separate bedrooms. The living room invites you to warm up with a cozy tiled stove. There is a bathroom with shower and toilet on each floor of the log cabin.
From the glamping accommodation you go to the Loferer Alm ski area , which is considered a particularly family-friendly ski area. The ski area has 46 kilometers of slopes to offer. In addition, it is the only ski area in the world that offers 2 child-safe 8-person chairlifts. If you're looking for a little more action, you can practice brave jumps on the unusual fun line. The ski area is at an altitude of 640 - 1,750 meters, and 75% of the slopes can be covered with snow.
5th tip: Chalet with a view of the Watzmann massif in Berchtesgaden
The comfortable chalet in Berchtesgaden at the Allweglehen campsite has two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with shower and toilet. The chalet is heated with powerful central heating, so it stays cozy and warm inside even on cold days. From the large terrace in front of the chalet you can enjoy a great view of the mountains.
There are several small lifts in Berchtesgaden , which, with slopes of around 300-400 meters in length, are particularly suitable for beginners. The Jenner, Rossfeld, Götschen and Hochschwarzeck ski areas are recommended for real downhill runs. These are between 600 and 1,800 meters. The cross-country ski trails in Berchtesgaden are particularly interesting. A spacious area offers many opportunities for cross-country skiing. There is a spacious wellness area on the campsite with several saunas. You can enjoy the wonderful view of the mountains from the panoramic sauna or pool.
Luxury and camping are perfectly combined here. A true glamping experience!
Skiing and glamping can be wonderfully combined. Many campsites specialize in winter sports enthusiasts in winter and offer everyone the opportunity to enjoy and experience nature even better through their glamping accommodations. The advantage of glamping in contrast to a winter holiday in a motorhome is, on the one hand, the more space and, in some glamping accommodations, a cozy fireplace so you can warm yourself up again after a long day on the boards.
You can also find suitable glamping accommodations on glamping.info using the numerous filters such as cross-country ski trails, ski lifts and open in winter.
