If the brothers Grimm created a fairy-tale ski resort, it’d look a lot like Nauders. Traders and smugglers passed through here hundreds of years ago, locals live in charming wooden chalets and a medieval castle marks the landscape. Not forgetting the dreamy international ski area with its 75km of terrain.
Up in the Tyrolean Alps, Nauders occupies a plateau by the legendary Reschen pass, where Austria, Italy and Switzerland rub shoulders. The Roman Road Via Claudia Augusta passed through the town as early as the second century, and it’s long been used as a stopping point for travellers, traders and smugglers on their way into Switzerland or South Tyrol.
This is a land of rolling meadows and high peaks – a Tyrolean church spire towers over chocolate brown chalets with intricate wooding carvings. Medieval Naudersberg Castle’s turret could easily have been the scene of Rapunzel’s entrapment - once a territorial court, now home to a restaurant and museum. As you’d expect from such fairy tale landscape, myth and legend surrounds life here – locals say that rather than the stork, babies come from the Holy Tree, and they’ll gladly tell you why.
But let’s not forget the ski area - Reschen Pass Ski Paradise - which covers two countries and is wonderfully varied. The castle might be old, but Nauders’ lifts are slick and modern, with excellent offerings for everyone from tots to seasoned skiers.

For food with a view, we like Stieralm which serves hearty meals and beers out on the terrace when the weather’s good. Alt Nauders (look for the big yellow building) is a great place to experience traditional Austrian nosh.
Yeti Bar is popular for après ski, opening around 3pm for drinks and music and staying open until 2am. Traktor Bar (look for the tractor parked outside) and Billy’s are worth a try and Monkey Pub always has a good atmosphere.
Our favourite non ski activity here is Tirol’s longest toboggan run, which goes on for a whopping 8km from the Bergkastelbahn top station then down, down, down through the valley.
