Fügen warmly welcomes novice skiers. Right opposite the village gondola is a small beginner slope. However, the more spacious nursery area at the base of the Hochfügen region offers added lifts and ample practice space. As the week progresses, beginners can ascend higher to test the gentle blue runs. Do note that valley runs tend to be on the steeper side, so hopping on the lift for the day's descent might be a good call.
