The southernmost ski mountain in the Villach region has been a popular destination in both winter and summer since the 1930s. The ski resort at the border triangle not far from Arnoldstein has been under new management since 2025 and is the perfect family adventure mountain. The area is also very popular with Italian guests, as it is located in the immediate vicinity of the motorway. Thanks to its advantageous location, winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy guaranteed snow and sunny slopes between Austria, Italy and Slovenia.

The ski resort offers 17 kilometres of groomed slopes in easy, medium and challenging terrain. A total of 7 lifts – a 3-seater chairlift and 6 T-bar lifts – transport skiers comfortably up the mountain. Freestylers can let off steam in the fun park. For all skiing and snowboarding beginners, there is the HAPPY Skischule Dreiländereck on site with professional courses and ski hire.
