Ice Rink

Already in October the ski season starts in the glacier ski area Kitzsteinhorn. Salzburg's highest chairlift and 18 further state-of-the-art cable cars and lifts open perfectly prepared pistes and glacier slopes with untouched powder snow. Action, Thrill and Challenge are the focus of this ski resort. The biggest challenge for alpine skiers is the black piste "Black Mamba", which burns its thighs with its 63 percent gradient. Due to the absolute snow safety at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the winter fun on the Kitzsteinhorn lasts until May. Freeriders will love the Kitzsteinhorn with its attractive mogul slopes, three snowparks, Austria's largest superpipe and five clearly marked freeride routes, including powder lines, cliff jumps and natural pipes. At the entrance to each route, a Freeride Info Point provides a topographical map with information on the steepness of the slopes, potential danger spots and the most beautiful lines of the route. Upon request, state-certified guides accompany freeriders on their way to adventure - whether beginner or professional.

Skiing for every taste and level will find winter sports enthusiasts on the Schmittenhöhe, the local mountain high above Zell am See with panoramic views of around 30 three-thousanders. 27 cable cars and lifts bring skiers and snowboarders up to 2,000 meters above sea level. In the snow park with its jumps, rails and boxes, the scene meets the ultimate snow fun and the longest Funslope in the world offers exciting challenges in terms of speed and technique over a length of 1,300 meters. The "Trass", with a height difference of 1,000 meters and an incline of up to 70 percent is the "blackest slope" in the region. And those who still do not have enough of the ski-run magic after a long day of skiing can experience the piste # 17 during night skiing in a completely different light on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in the winter season.

Maiskogel - the family mountain With wide and rather cozy ski slopes, the Maiskogel in Kaprun offers itself primarily as a ski area for beginners and families.
