On Mountain Dining

If you need a short break or if the hunger creeps on you after being so active, you´ll have four mountain huts and restaurants to your disposal. Whatever you prefer, the comfortable atmosphere in the Wildseehütte or the Korbinianhütte with plain and hearty cuisine, you´ll find what you´re looking for!
When you get out of the top station you´ll probably smell the Bavarian- international menu in the Sankt Anton hut. An other highlight is the Kranzberghaus, located at the peak. The huge sun deck features a 360 degrees view of the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains. Here, you can fuel up on great food and drinks to keep those legs swishing through the snow.

If you prefer extended and wide downhills, check out the run descending into the valley- with a length of 3 kilometers (1,8 miles) the longest run in the ski resort! Experts should hit the run at Kranzberg peak, the only black run.
