Habichen for beginners

Beginners rating -
12
Perfect
Habichen is not the most suitable choice for beginners. The resort lacks a dedicated nursery area for novices to practice and build their confidence. Additionally, the absence of ski schools and easy-to-use lifts accessible from beginner areas makes it a challenging environment for those new to the sport.

Habichen for intermediates

Intermediates rating -
Fun
Perfect
Intermediate skiers will find Habichen to be a suitable destination with a good mix of blue and red pistes. The resort offers a variety of terrains, including the popular blue runs around the Hochötz chairlift and the challenging red descents from the Acherkogelbahn. The resort's reliable snow conditions and well-groomed slopes provide a great environment for intermediates to enhance their skiing skills.

Habichen for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Fun
Perfect
Habichen may not be the best fit for advanced skiers seeking adrenaline-pumping challenges. The resort primarily caters to beginners and intermediates, with a majority of blue and red runs. The lack of black runs and off-piste opportunities may leave advanced skiers wanting more.

Habichen for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Habichen may not be the first choice for snowboarders. The resort lacks dedicated snowparks or freestyle areas, making it less appealing for those looking to practice tricks or jumps. However, it does offer a variety of slopes for those who prefer traditional snowboarding, but it's more suited for skiers.

Habichen for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
Habichen may not be the first choice for freeriders as it lacks the extensive off-piste terrain found in larger resorts. The resort is more suited to beginners and intermediate skiers with its well-groomed pistes and gentle slopes. However, for those looking for a quieter, less crowded experience, Habichen offers a peaceful and relaxed skiing environment.

Habichen for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Habichen is a smaller, more intimate resort that may be a good fit for families seeking a quieter, less crowded skiing experience. The resort offers a variety of beginner and intermediate slopes, making it a suitable choice for families with young or novice skiers. Additionally, the resort's close proximity to accommodations and local amenities ensures a convenient and comfortable stay for families. However, it lacks the extensive range of family-centered activities and facilities found in larger resorts.

Habichen apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
Habichen offers a more relaxed après-ski atmosphere, ideal for those who prefer a quiet drink after a day on the slopes. You can unwind in the local taverns like Gasthof Stern or Gasthof Waldeck, both known for their warm ambiance and excellent local brews. For those seeking a bit more excitement, the nearby town of Oetz offers a wider range of bars and clubs.
