Leisure experiences in our vicinity:

There’s no boredom here!

Whether on foot or by mountain bike, motorcycle or car, our guests can expect wonderful nature and leisure experiences around Arft. And when it snows in winter, there is even alpine skiing in Arft, including lift operations. A very special experience on this ski slope is skiing under floodlight in the evening hours.
The lights of the surrounding villages, the sparkle of the snow, and the usually crystal-clear starry sky in winter create unique impressions that will be remembered for a long time.
