What makes this resort different

Family progression base

Mountain character

Forsteralm is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.

100% blue pistes

0% black pistes

The trade-off

Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.

Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
