THE GENTLE SIDE OF WINTER.
Berwang: a winter wonderland of
winter sports and great gastronomy.
Dear Guests and Friends,
2017 was incredibly exciting and 2018 has so far
proven calmer – at least as far as construction is
concerned! But what a truly wonderful year we’ve
had! Winter was a dream with copious snow and so
many lovely guests. Summer also got off to a great
start as we welcomed many of you to celebrate our
90th anniversary week. As temperatures over most
of Europe reached dizzying heights, we enjoyed the
most glorious summer weather here in the Tyrolean
Zugspitz Arena. We and our guests breakfasted on
the new hotel terrace, and we even dined al fresco on
most nights. Nevertheless, temperatures remained
pleasantly cool at night and daytime temperatures
never rose above 28°C.
To our great delight, our guests loved our
refurbishments and we received much praise for the
way in which we fused tradition and modernity.
We and our little girl Leonie have also been
discovering our favourite spots in the new areas –
we’re particularly enamoured with the high tables
in the S-Lounge: from there the panoramic views of
Berwang are just brilliant!
Winter is getting closer. We’re enjoying the colours
and bounty of autumn but are also eagerly awaiting
the first snowflakes! More refurbishment is set to
take place this autumn as we replace our oldest

Our new S-Lounge combines Tyrolean
charm with tasty treats and classy
conviviality.
Ski-in & drink-out – the S-Lounge
SKI-IN & DRINK-OUT at Singer’s S-Lounge with delicious dishes, cool drinks and chilled music –
the perfect ambience for your sophisticated après-ski afternoon.
W e opened the doors to our new S-Lounge on
22 December 2017. A hotspot for skiers and
après-ski enthusiasts, this area seats around 40
and offers same-level piste access, music, events, exquisite
cuisine and much more. The S-Lounge is the place to be
for lunch and daytime drinks beside the Berwang
Sonnalmbahn ski run. The setting is chic and relaxed, the
service excellent – under Michaela’s direction – and the
views are simply second to none!
Michaela, tell us about yourself.
I was born in Carinthia – or Villach to be more precise – which
is also where I trained as a restaurant manager. I’ve always loved
gastronomy, whether on land or the high seas. As a barkeeper
and also as a restaurant manager life has brought many
experiences. But it’s at the S-Lounge where I have found true
fulfilment – here I can be who I really am: a hostess who is
passionate about helping others.
What makes the S-Lounge so special?
The S-Lounge is the perfect space for high-level après-ski. People
love the relaxed setting with the piste on the doorstep and great
connection to the village. Winter walkers, skiers, snowboarders,
cross-country skiers – everyone can find their perfect spot here.
Another benefit of our conservatory-style outdoor bar is that we Michaela looks forward

Fun on the slopes for young and old
At 1,336m above sea level, Berwang is the highest village in the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena. In addition to guaranteed snow
and a wide range of activities, the resort offers tranquillity and a warm welcome along with perfectly prepared pistes and a ski programme
to suit all tastes. All of it amidst stunningly beautiful mountain scenery.
Florian
Singer’s
carving tip:
‘I love taking the
Sonnalmbahn cable car up in
the morning and then the
Bärenbadlift down – the steep slopes directly
below the station are perfect for carving.
Another of my favourites is the descent to
Bichlbach, as there you can curve
downhill, taking the blue piste for a
leisurely ski or the red for a
racier experience.’

SKIING DAY IN BERWANG
A fter a hearty breakfast, make your way into the
village on the ski school shuttle – here in
Berwang your car can have a break too as
almost everything is easily accessible on foot.
Once arrived at the Berwang-Bichlbach ski resort,
Berwang’s ski school offers children a spacious skiing
area. This is where many children try out their first
moves – but there are also countless slopes for older
and more experienced children which they explore
safely and enjoyably in the company of instructors.
After dropping off your children, head straight out to
the slopes from the ski school assembly point. Whether
you prefer to head towards the Sonnalmbahn or the
Thaneller, there are plenty of blue and red pistes in all
directions ready for you to carve your turns. It’s good to
know that you can keep an eye on your children virtually
all of the time, as the ski school assembly point is at the
centre of the resort. This means you can comfortably
pick up your children and eat lunch together – the
