Although the resort hosts World Cup races on its famous Downhill racetrack each season
most of the terrain is suited to intermediates, especially in the Rosskopf sector where the piste map is dominated by winding blues. Efficient, fast lifts make getting around very quick and easy, including across the valley via Flachauwinkl to a further area of linked slopes. More advanced skiers and riders will enjoy the World Cup piste and other routes off the Gamskogel, as well as the steeper terrain off Tauernkar. The purpose-built village is very convenient, with all accommodation being ski-in-ski-out and right at the foot of the main lifts. It is not hugely lively however, with a most evening activity limited to the hotels and there’s not a huge amount to do away from the slopes. Getting here is incredibly easy – the drive from Salzburg can take less than an hour if there’s no traffic.

Austria
Updated 17/03
Spring conditions dominate across the Austrian Alps through this week, as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions across the region. Temperatures will yo-yo in a typical spring freeze-thaw pattern, the freezing line dropping to 500m overnight but rising to just shy of 2,000m in the midday sun.
Cloud and more unsettled weather brings with it some snow through this weekend, the best of which will be in the east of the country; around 15cm will fall from Saturday into Sunday, but with the oscillations of the freezing line settling around 1,500 this will mean that this snowfall will favour upper slopes. Western areas will see around 5cm.
More unsettled weather is due for the new week, although it remains too far out to fully see how much snow, when and where.
