ActivitiesHidden Paradise in the Heart of the Alps

 

The standout “hidden paradise” feature of St. Jakob im Defereggental is practically no lift queues — ever.Even at the absolute peak times (Christmas/New Year, February half-term weeks, sunny weekends), you almost never wait more than 1–2 minutes, and usually you just ski straight onto the lift. On most days it feels like you have the entire mountain to yourself.Real-life examples that regulars love to mention:
  • The main 8-person gondola (Brunnalmbahn) rarely has more than 10–20 people in front of you, even at 9:30 a.m.
  • The two main chairlifts (Mooserberg and Hanglalm) are often completely empty — you can literally do lap after lap without stopping.
  • On a normal weekday in January or March, it’s common to be the only person on some lifts for entire runs.
  • Powder days: Fresh tracks stay untouched until late morning or even afternoon because there are so few skiers.
This zero-queue experience is extremely rare in the Alps nowadays outside of tiny local hills, and it’s the #1 reason why people who discover St. Jakob keep coming back year after year and call it their personal “secret paradise.”
