Finkenberg Hotels
 The Sporthotel Stock comes highly recommended and is owned by the former downhill ski champion Leonard Stock. If you like to relax in the spa at the end of the day then this hotel is the one for you - another plus; it is right near the gondola station. Another great hotel is the Eberl - superb food, great customer service - however; one should try and avoid the anexe rooms. Another 4*** hotel in Finkenberg is the Kristall - a great 'wellness spa' on site as well as being very close to the gondola. |

Skiing in Finkenberg
 The Super Zillertal liftpass opens up 589km of runs throughout the region. It's an enormous area and when snow conditions are good the powder is to die for.
It really gives the Three Valleys in France a run for it's money. The other good thing is the pass includes busses and trains which are efficient, run on time and easy to use.
Snowboarders - there is a fun park with a half pipe. |
