Winter sports holiday in the village
Finkenberg is a charming and authentic mountain village in Tyrol, located at the beginning of the Tux Valley and part of the popular Zillertal 3000 ski area. This picturesque village is renowned for its tranquillity, friendliness, and traditional Austrian character. With its sunny location at over 840 metres above sea level and stunning views of the majestic mountain peaks, Finkenberg is the ideal destination for a relaxing winter sports holiday.
In winter, Finkenberg transforms into a small but complete winter sports village. Thanks to its own gondola, you can reach the extensive slopes of the Zillertal 3000 ski area in just a few minutes, with access to Finkenberg, Mayrhofen, Tux, and Hintertux. Despite this, the village itself remains pleasantly quiet, making it particularly suitable for families with children, groups of friends seeking a relaxing winter holiday, and parties who prefer to avoid the crowds.
In addition to skiing and snowboarding, you can also enjoy winter walks, tobogganing, or simply relax on the terrace with a view of the impressive Alps. The cosy après-ski in the village, such as the well-known Laterndl Pub, provides a warm and friendly end to the skiing day – small-scale, but always inviting.
Finkenberg offers everything you need for a carefree, comfortable, and authentic winter sports experience in the Austrian Alps. Chalet Demlhof – the only Wens Chalets accommodation in Finkenberg – is the perfect base for an unforgettable winter holiday in the Zillertal.
