You need to be able to ski confidently in off-piste terrain and have a good level of fitness.

Hotel Lamm

The hotel “Lamm" (Tel. 0039-472-765127) is situated in the centre of the medieval pedestrian zone in Sterzing. It offers
excellent cuisine, and there are sauna and whirlpool facilities. All rooms have their own bathroom with bathtub or shower and WC, telephone and safe.

Touring region

There are plenty of options for ski tours around Sterzing which cater for all levels. If the weather doesn’t permit to go ski touring, we go to the skiing areas Ratschings at the Jaufenpass (15-minute drive from Sterzing) and Rosskopf (the valley station is a 10-minute walk from Hotel Lamm) instead and work on improving your deep powder skiing abilities.
