Brand and Burserburg Ski Resort
Both Brand and Burserburg can be found within the same valley in the Voralberg region, but are a little different in terms of vibe and the demographic they cater to. The family-friendly facilities in Burserburg are second to none, with many of the accommodation choices having accreditation to attest as such, but early bedtimes mean that it does not have the same nightlife as Brand.
The selection of facilities in Brand are able to cope with many different types of skier and groups will find plenty to do in the evenings. They will also find a large choice of accommodation, from chalets to hotels and everything in between.
Snow conditions in Brand and Burserburg
The ski season at Brand and Burserburg runs from December to April each year. The relatively low altitude of the valley compared to other ski resorts means that artificial snowmaking facilities tend to be employed on around 75 per cent of the groomed terrain. You can therefore be confident that the pistes will be ready for you to schuss down.
