Damüls-Mellau is a Bregenzerwald ski area combining two villages with complementary positions in the valley. Damüls, at 1,428 meters, holds the verified record for the highest average annual snowfall of any permanently inhabited village in Europe, which means a long season and reliable depth. The terrain is intermediate-friendly and family-oriented. Mellau sits lower and connects summer hiking trails into the Bregenzerwald. The Bregenzerwald timber architecture tradition is visible in the valley’s building stock. About 45 minutes from Bregenz by car. Best paired with the broader Bregenzerwald cultural circuit for travelers combining skiing with the valley’s design and food culture.
