FAQ’s
Where should I go when I first arrive?
For Tubing:
Please enter the northern most driveway that leads up the hill past the Chalet (barn). Tubing is located at the top of our upper parking areas. Continue up the “switchbacks” through the parking areas. Finally you will see the Tubing Chalet at the upper parking area; ticket booth, concessions and bathrooms can be found within. NOTE: Depending on how busy it is, consider that you may have to park and walk some distance to your destination.
For Skiing/Snowboarding:
Tyrol Basin consists of lower, middle & upper parking lots. The main Skiing & Snowboarding area is most accessible via lower and middle parking lots, while our Tubing area is located at the upper parking lot. Parking fills up quite quickly in the lower lot, so parking in the middle lots might be your best bet. Make your way to the large building, located 3 doors up from the Chalet (barn), where you will find Tickets, Rentals and the Ski School. NOTE: Depending on how busy it is, consider that you may have to park and walk some distance to your destination.
