The country's only ski resort — family-friendly, uncrowded, with slopes just 30 minutes from Vaduz — perfect for a ski weekend without the crowds of the big Alpine resorts.
Malbun, perched at 1,600m in the Liechtenstein Alps, is the country's only ski resort — modest by Alpine standards, but exactly for that reason ideal for a quick ski weekend without queues or inflated prices. The slopes suit beginners and families best, with a compact area and a chairlift up to the Sareiserjoch offering views over the Swiss and Austrian Alps. The big draw is proximity: from Vaduz or Schaan, it's just 20-30 minutes by road to strap on skis, meaning you can sleep in the valley in a comfortable hotel rather than at altitude, and combine morning skiing with an afternoon visit to the capital. The properties selected here sit in Malbun itself or right by the lifts, ideal for a compact, stress-free ski trip.
