SNO-man says
An amazing Tyrolean village in that, in addition to a history dating back to 1500BC, a lovely atmosphere and first-rate skiing, it has its own underground railway system. Not bad for a population of 900! Especially good facilities for children.
Since 2005 the village has been jointly promoted with neighbouring Fiss and Ladis. The three villages in the Inn Valley are located in one of the sunniest areas in the Tyrol, clocking up more than 2000 hours of sunshine each year.
The resulting winter sports paradise Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis with its three historical villages is located on a sunny high plateau above the Tyrolean Inn Valley, framed by the mighty 3000-metre Samnaun mountains and the Ötztal Alps. Here winter sports fans have the choice of 185 km of ski runs, of which 135 km are at over 2000 m altitude, 146 km of cross-country skiing trails - groomed daily -, more than 50 ski lifts, freeride slopes, terrain parks, and the whole gamut of winter fun sports.

The direction which the various Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis slopes face can make or break your ski holiday. To guarantee good snow conditions, choose a resort with piste which face the right way for the time of year you're travelling.
- In the coldest winter months of January and February pick a resort with sunny south facing slopes, so your days on the snow doesn't feel like a polar expedition.
