Ski resort St. Jakob ski resort

Description

Deep in the idyllic East Tyrolean Defereggen Valley, on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park, lies the family-friendly St. Jakob im Defereggental ski center. Here you are far away from the hustle and bustle of the masses, skiing with views of countless mighty three-thousand-metre peaks is a pure pleasure and there are no queues at the lifts. Due to its altitude of between 1,400 and 2,525 meters, snow is guaranteed from the end of November to April. The network of pistes is very manageable, but offers good conditions for all ages and abilities. Winter sports enthusiasts are greeted at the valley station by a large children's and beginners' area with practice and drag lifts. Freestylers and boarders can enjoy themselves at the middle station in the "defRaggn" snow park, while speed enthusiasts can let off steam on the race course. Several cozy huts provide refreshments.
