A winter to remember
Skifans will get their money's worth in the Dachstein West family ski area. 160 kilometres of slopes in a magnificent setting, 70 modern lifts, fun parks and children's ski areas invite you to pure winter fun. Freeride enthusiasts will love the Freesports Arena Krippenstein. 30 km of off-piste variants, the guaranteed snow of the Dachstein area and the longest descent in Austria with 11 km whet your appetite for powder snow and winter fun.
An extensive network of cross-country ski trails of all levels of difficulty in Bad Goisern at lake Hallstatt, Gosau at Dachstein and Obertraun let you experience winter from its most beautiful side. On the Predigstuhl with over 1,000 meters, there is a wide range of cross-country ski runs, in the Gosau valley it is above all the views of the surrounding mountains that enchant. A special highlight is certainly the high-altitude trail on the Dachstein Krippenstein - at 1,700 m you glide through the quiet mountain world and enjoy the cold, clear air, and the warming rays of the sun.
Snowshoeing and winter hiking…
The romantic side of the region can be explored through the snowy landscape and along icy streams. The 5fingers viewing platform on the 2,100 m high Dachstein Krippenstein provides spectacular views. With our snowshoe guides you are not only on the safe side, but they also lead you to the most beautiful places and vantage points, including interesting details about the history and geography of the region.
Away from the ski slopes, the Holiday Region offers a wide range of winter activities for beginners and professionals. Ski tours on the Hornspitz, which are also suitable for beginners, and the newly signposted ski tours on the Predigstuhl let you immerse yourself step by step in the winter landscape. Advanced ski tourers enjoy the leisurely half-day tours and challenging multi-day tours on the Dachstein plateau. Early risers and anyone who wants to enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountain appreciate the popular early-morning trips for tourers.
