Get the feeling of floating down the mountain, on top of untouched dunes of fresh powder snow that just fell from the sky. With uncountable amounts of snow fallen in the 2017-2018 season, there’ll be plenty of powder snow for you to be knee-deep in! If off-piste deep snow is a bit too much, don’t worry, APPI-Kogen has a total of 21 runs summing up to a whopping 45km total piste, where 14 of them are groomed and prepared for the best skiing experience, for all skiing-skill levels. They even have a continuous 5,5km run, so you don’t have to take one of the total 16 well functioning lifts (for a while)!
