Damüls-Mellau
Geography
The ski area Damüls-Mellau extends at an altitude between 700 m (village Mellau) and 2,050 m (mountain station Ragazer Blanken) in the rear Bregenzerwald. The villages in and around the ski resort are Damüls (1,430 m) and Mellau (688m).
From Mellau, a detachable 10-seater gondola lift leads up to the ski area and the Roßstelle. From Damüls, ski lifts lead directly into the ski area. About 80% of the houses in Damüls are located on the slopes or a maximum of 100 m away of a slope. This makes Damüls popular for "ski-in ski-out".
