Not such a good place for beginners , but the slopes are wide & not too busy. There is plenty of variety for off piste & you don't have too look far for a mini adventure

Probably not the prettiest resort, it's small & functional. The lift system is reasonably modern & has plans to expand to link up with other resorts nearby.

The blue run was great for beginners like me and there is a lot of choice for intermediate/advanced skier/snowboarders.

I really liked this resort, it was a great day out and the board/boot hire was excellent.

There is a good outdoor bar (with heaters) at the bottom of Axama Litzum which plays cheesy apres ski songs. A good finish to your day on the slopes.

Nice long runs, not the biggest area around but enough to keep you going for a couple of days. Some great hidden off piste runs if you're with someone in the know!

A relatively steep beginners slope but otherwise a good area for beginner/intermediates. Sometimes the slopes can be really empty, which is great!

Although there are really beautiful surroundings, the resort itself is not the prettiest, due to a few dodgy hotel buildings

Prices are really quite inexpensive for beer and wine on and off the slopes, but there is not the wildest apres ski atmosphere - an umbrella bar and an apres ski hut.

Limited learning area. Great tree skiing . The incredible ski out to Goetzens via the rear side of the resort. This felt like a real adventure on a wide secluded and very snow sure trail. It has become my favourite way off the mountaion . Ask for directions it is very simple and remember you can ski out and catch the bus home to Innsbruck in Goetzens !! I guess the whole piste is approx 5 klm from start toi finish a real adventure !

Beginner Skiing nice t-bar at the bottom of the resort. the slope is not too steep and ideal for beginners. Intermediate Skiing the so called damenabfahrt is a very nice slope for intermediate skiers. during the 1976 olympics the womens downhill took place here. Advanced Skiing the herrenabfahrt - or mens downhill - is a nice steeper run. the birgitskoepfl run is a great mogul run for advanced skiers. Off-piste skiing there is some fantastic off piste skiing when there is enough powder. unfortunately i won't tell you where, but if you look around you will find the great off piste spots yourself.

Apres ski overall i used to party in the lizum alm, which is located at the bottom of the resort. unfortunately they only serve small beers now and so i don't go there anymore. there is an apres ski umbrella bar at the parking lot. if you don't mind skiing down after a few beers the dohlensnest at the damenabfahrt is a great place to stop by. especially during march there is a lot of sun there.

Axamer Lizum has only a small area for beginners and is not particularly flat. Intermediates have some great terrain which is now complemented by connections to Mutters and Gotzens. Advanced and off-piste can be great.

There is a kids creche right in the centre of the resort and the resort is essentially ski-in, ski-out. Night time tobogganing is great for families but there is little real atmosphere.
