Marienbergbahnen Biberwier

“I had a pleasant experience at the Marienbergbahnen Biberwier ski area. However, I found the area to be quite icy and the drag lifts steep, contributing to some difficulties, particularly for smaller children. On a positive note, the cabins were notably pleasant. I visited during the weekend and was pleased to encounter no waiting times. A reservation was not necessary for my visit.”

“I embarked on a picturesque 2.5-3 hour hike in the snow from Biberwier to Sunnalm, intending to take the chairlift back to the valley. However, despite inquiring about this at the valley station beforehand, I found that it was not permitted in winter without a ticket. Regrettably, the staff member at the chairlift was less than amiable, insisting there was no ride without a ticket. It was disappointing to find that there was no room for negotiation or conversation. Even in an emergency situation, I felt the staff member would have remained indifferent. This experience left me disheartened and dissatisfied.”

“I visited Marienbergbahnen Biberwier with my bike and unfortunately, had a rather unpleasant experience. The staff, particularly at the middle station, were not very amicable. During the lift, my bike was damaged due to the lift's continuous motion. The front wheel broke and collided against the metal of the lift. Furthermore, at the bottom lift, my wheel struck an unpadded crank height lift. After this incident, I found myself needing to address the situation with management. However, the person I spoke to was even less cordial and refused to accept any responsibility for the damage. They suggested that if my bike wasn't designed for such a situation, it shouldn't have been on the lift. I had hoped for a pleasant and service-oriented experience, but instead, I was met with indifference and a lack of customer service. The only exception was one employee at the top station who was apologetic. My bike was so dirty from the Blindsee trail that I was unable to immediately assess the extent of the damage. In terms of the ride itself, the lift was incredibly slow and the trail that followed was dull. It felt like nature had been unnecessarily disrupted for the creation of this uninteresting S0 trail. I don't believe my experience aligns with what the railway owners would hope for their guests.”

“Marienbergbahnen Biberwier is a family-friendly ski area with excellent transport links, conveniently located even before the Fernpass. It caters to a range of skill levels, offering everything from light to medium difficulty slopes. However, the absence of gondola lifts or chair lifts with roofing can be a downside in less favorable weather conditions. The plentiful snow cannons ensure a great skiing experience, even in less-than-ideal snow conditions. The summit provides drag lifts to the opposite side where you can enjoy quiet, beautiful blue slopes with minimal crowd. January, in particular, sees fewer queues at the lifts and nearly empty slopes. It's an ideal location for all types of skiing enthusiasts, whether families, beginners, advanced skiers, cross-country skiers, or tourers. Although there's a larger, busier ski area in Lermoos, offering a range from easy to challenging slopes, the Marienbergbahnen Biberwier still holds its own, especially considering its convenience and family-friendly environment.”
