With the famous World Cup run, the snow park, and the thermal spa right at the foot of the lifts, the Bad Kleinkirchheim ski area leaves nothing to be desired.
Can't decide between skiing or the thermal baths on vacation? No problem! With a 2-day ski pass or more, you can decide every day whether you'd rather spend your time on the slopes or in the Thermal Römerbad.
But you can also treat yourself to a wellness break in the sauna or steam bath at the Sport Spa of the Explorer Hotel after a spectacular day of skiing or snowboarding.
🤫 Good to know:
The Explorer Hotel Bad Kleinkirchheim is right next to the Maibrunnbahn cable car. So you can practically ski right into the hotel. And if you want to use another lift, you can simply take the free ski-spa bus. It will take you there and back.
