Today, two of the five centers that belong to this beautiful skiing world.
Schladming-Dachstein
It is the largest Ski Amade resort in Upper Austria. It is said that it is here that you can meet the greatest ski names in the World Cup, but also Austria’s most impressive ski attractions. Skiers can use 84 modern cableways and lifts here, providing a total of 230 kilometers of perfectly prepared ski slopes of various levels of difficulty. One of the biggest attractions of the region is the Crosspark in the Reiteralm resort, which spectacular route ends with a jump into a picturesque mountain pasture. Another must-see for skiing crazy people is Superpark Planai, which will meet the expectations of both snowboard champions and those who make their first steps on one or two boards. It is definitely worth taking the cable car to Gletscher – the highest peak in the Dachstein region, so that from an altitude of 2700 m above sea level. admire the panorama of the Alps reaching from the south of the Slovenian and from the north to the Czech border. Did you know that the border between Upper Austria and Styria passes through the restaurant hall at the top? The vicinity of Ramsau also offers fantastically prepared routes for cross-country skiers.
Salzburg Sports World
Further afield, the Salzburger Sportwelt with 760 kilometers of pistes reveals the true beauty of the Austrian Alps to tourists. The region includes the towns of Flachau, Wagrain, St. Johann, Radstadt, Altenmarkt-Zauchensee and Filzmoos. It was in Flachau that the skiing legend Hermann Maier created his own ski track. The route leads to the most beautiful places in the region, sports attractions and the best panoramic views. Anyone who scores all route points takes part in the Snow Space Salzburg Challenge and can win great prizes in the monthly draw. Thanks to the new Panorama Link connection between the adjacent ski resorts of Flachauwinkl and Zauchensee, winter sports fans can enjoy skiing thanks to the infrastructure located on 12 peaks, in 5 valleys and on more than 210 kilometers of slopes. Those who climb all 12 peaks during their ski holiday will receive a special surprise before going home. It’s also good to have a “co-driver” option in PANEK Rent a Car which is free until the end of February to be able to move freely between the ski stations in a rented car, while one of the drivers is still skiing on one of the slopes.
