Embedded amongst broad meadows and moderately rising flanks lies the mountain township of Vals with the ski area of Jochtal. Here, you will find precisely what one understands by a family friendly ski area: no hubbub, no long paths, uncomplicated access to the winter sports area, and the ski area right in front of your doorstep. If the run up there in the Jochtal is still too steep for the children, then they can give the practise slopes down in the valley a try first. Three ski lifts are available for beginners, or those who “are a bit rusty”.  Three more lifts, including a modern 8-seater cabin car transport the ski enthusiasts in the Jochtal from one piste to the other. New, state-of-the art snowmaking equipment looks after good snow conditions on 19 kilometres of pistes, a new valley run leads directly to the township.
 
The very sporty ones will find a mountain hiking path up to the famous “Stoanamandl Kreuz“ (Cross of the petrified man) (2.260m). Numerous, idyllically located huts offer a view and atmosphere which you will not be able to forget quickly. The Bambino-Club is available for a few hours alone with your partner without the littlies. Your precious ones will find a whole lot of surprises there: lots of other “Bambini“ to play with, numerous obstacles to be circumvented on skies, giant slalom runs, tyre slide,.... the littlies are bound to be on the skies quickly. And those who wish to have a “holiday away from one’s own car“ can use the free of charge “snow taxi“ which brings the ski fans from the neighbouring townships directly to the valley station of the cabin car lift.
