FAQs: The most frequently asked questions about winter campsites
What should I look out for when choosing a campsite?
That depends on your requirements. Our tip: pay attention to the location and what the campsite has to offer. Proximity to the ski resorts is also an advantage. For the wellness enthusiasts among you, campsites with wellness facilities such as a sauna and indoor pool are a good idea. And you should also take a close look at the sanitary facilities, as you will need these especially after a day of skiing if the camper doesn't have its own integrated bathroom. 😉

What are the best winter camping activities?
