The beautiful Austrian resort of Ehrwald is in a fantastic location just over 1hr NW of Innsbruck, close to the famous Zugspitze Glacier, which borders Bavaria.

Skiing in Ehrwald
The Sonnenburg sits on the slopes of the Sonnenlifte ski area close to the centre of Ehrwald. This area is enhanced with the new state-of-the-art six seater chair lift departing from just outside the hotel. This will increase the local ski area to over 30km and connects it directly with the Glacier and a further 20kms of slopes . The imminent arrival of a 3rd lift in the next couple of seasons will connect the other close by ski area of Ehrwalder Alm and therefore offer almost 100Kms from the doorstep of your hotel. The local lift pass will allow you to ski the Wetterstein area only, while an extended lift pass entitles you to use any of the 9 ski areas in the Zugspitze Ski Circuit and Garmisch which totals over 200km of piste. The areas of Lermoos, Biberweir, Ehrwalder Alm and Berwang are all within a 10-15 minute journey of your hotel. All in all a fantastic ski area for all grades of skiers.
