ON THE SLOPES OF THE MARKSTEIN
In summer as in winter alike, the whole family loves the Markstein !
“Summer and winter alike, the Markstein is the ideal place to hang up high, enjoy the great outdoors and the magnificent panoramas that are revealed on either side of the “Route des Crêtes”!
The resort is above all known by winter sports enthusiasts, especially since it hosted the Alpine Ski World Cup in 1983 and 1987!”
IN WINTER
Today the Markstein is a family resort par excellence. The Markstein offers 13 downhill ski slopes, served by 8 ski lifts. For beginners the Markstein has an initiation area which allows them to progress in stages on green and blue slopes. The Children enjoy a special area which is dedicated to them.
For the more seasoned and “riders” looking for thrills, the resort also offers a slalom park, a snowpark and a boardercross!
Cross-country skiers and skaters are not forgotten with about 40km of marked and groomed Nordic trails.
Put on your snowshoes !
The resort also has several snowshoe walking itineraries on the crests and in the undergrowth to mix the pleasure of contemplating the snowy expanses with physical activity.
IN SUMMER
The Markstein is also a very lively resort in summer, well known in particular by free flight fans since a round of the world cup was organized there in 1999 and the Treh base is regularly used by many practitioners. Moreover, if you dream of flying around in liberty like a bird, the Markstein school center offers paragliding initiations in pairs with a qualified instructor !
Even in summer !
At the foot of the rail sled, a miniature golf course and archery (only in summer) offers you the opportunity to measure your skills!
For the small and big hungers, cafés, snack bars and restaurants are open all year round on the resort. Several farm inns and mountain inns are located on the ridges around the Markstein. These are all hiking goals starting from the Markstein.
“Just like the “snow shuttle” in winter, a “shuttle of the peaks” makes it possible to join the summits by bus from mid-July to mid-August!”
