The LAGANT family hotel is right beside the valley station of the Niggenkopfbahn, the highway to the skiing area
You and your children do not think much of long walks in ski boots - good, neither do we, therefore the LAGANT family hotel is the ideal solution as it is next to the main lift, the Niggenkopfsesselbahn. So every winter sport can be experienced comfortably!
With the Niggenkopfbahn you reach the starting point for a fast toboggan run on the 3 kilometre long Naturrodelbahn which also goes directly past the hotel. Three times a week, floodlighting also ensures tobogganing fun for the whole family in the evening.
