Family ski resort Zwoelferkopf

The central location of the cable car and the ski school's practice area, which is located directly next to the cable car, are the perfect combination for a successful skiing holiday with the whole family. The Pertisau ski school offers courses in different levels of difficulty and a varied supporting programme. Bobo the Penguin, the mascot of the ski school, provides entertainment and accompanies the children through the whole ski course.

After the first days at the skiing class you will already see a learning success and nothing stands in the way of a trip with the Karwendel cable car to the Zwoelferkopf Mountain. Skiing can be practised perfectly on the sunny training slopes and also on more demanding downhill runs. Particularly child-friendly are the button lift and the conveyor belt. The excellent view of Lake Achensee during the Hubertus downhill slope is unique. An automatic speed measurement determines the fastest skier on the Tristenau downhill run.

A separate card is required for the "Planberg & Wiesenlifts" practice area, which can be purchased directly at the lift attendant.
