Snowmaking adds to the snow reliability, making this a great early or late season choice
An impressive lift system, featuring slick gondolas, world-first chondola lifts and several fast chairs with heated seats serves an impressive 100km of varied slopes, all of which are located between a snowsure altitude of 1600-2300m.
Much of the terrain is suited to beginners and intermediates, and unless there’s fresh snow there is little to attract experts – only 4% of the resort’s runs are marked black.
Most of the accommodation is located right at the foot of the lifts, offering up ski-in-ski-out options that make this a great family-friendly option.
There’s a lively après scene at the end of the ski day and the resort is known for having a great selection of mountain restaurants. Off the slopes there’s some good cross country trails and a number of prepared winter walking trails.
Access from Salzburg is quick and easy, with the drive taking around 75 minutes.

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 17/12
Another varied week ahead for Austria, with a mix of conditions fighting it out across the period and the region.
A mixed middle of the week will bring sun and cloud across all areas, with a high freezing line bringing positive temperatures at 2,000m. This will change as Wednesday ends and Thursday begins, with a dense low pressure area moving over Ireland, the UK and Northern Europe bringing snow to the country. This will start on higher ground only, but as the freezing line falls on Thursday evening it will bring snow with it to all elevations; around 10cm can be expected in the west and southwest, but areas further east will see the best of this snow with 30cm expected across Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will plummet to -10°C at 2,000m at this time.
Austria will see unsettled conditions continuing, with cloud and a few floccons of snow coming across Friday and into Saturday, when more proper snowfall begins again; another foot is expected down across westerly reaches on Sunday, although this will be more limited to higher ground as the freezing line rises from below sea level to close to 2,000m at this time. These more unsettled conditions are expected to continue into the new Christmas week, including in the east where the snowfall will be more limited, with half a foot coming down on Sunday.
