Aprés Ski
Party atmosphere "open end"
In the wintersport resort of Waidring there’s no lacking of après ski. In the Steinplatte ski area you’ll find numerous mountain hut restaurants and Alpine inns that you can ski to and where you can stop off for a glass of mulled wine, a snack or for a short break in a deckchair in the sun.
Once you get back to valley the „in“ place to go is Zardinis, the resort’s top disco or the rustic Hausberalm Inn where you can unwind and have a cosy chat and a drink after a hard day on the slopes. The smooth transition between après ski and nightlife in Waidring is unavoidable, because as the moon rises over the Steinberg mountain, so does the atmosphere in the bars and discos in Waidring.
If you’re more the quiet type, then Barbara & Reinahrd’s café- bar “Emozion” or the “Wine Cellar” at the Gasthof Post are just the right sort of place for you. Here you’ll enjoy holiday atmosphere of a different kind.
