Skiing
Just about 4 km away lies the Rosskopf, the local mountain of Sterzing. With its varied blue and red slopes totalling 15 km, it offers perfect conditions for skiers and snowboarders. In optimal snow conditions, you can even ski all the way down from the Rosskopf to the guesthouse – a first-class skiing experience.
The Ladurns ski area is about 9 km from the Knappenhof and, with its wide blue slopes, is ideal for beginners. Thanks to its location, it's also very snow-sure.
The Ratschings ski area offers a variety of slopes for all levels across 25 km. Wide, sweeping descents, cosy huts and short waiting times at the lifts make it a real insider tip.
You can reach the Rosskopf and Ratschings ski areas directly by ski bus from our guesthouse – so you can hit the slopes without any detours.
