There are 70km of slopes in the Katschberg ski area,
located on the Aineck and Tschaneck Mountains, either side of the Katschberg Pass. Most of the slopes are tree-lined, making this a great resort for bad weather and with 100% snowmaking coverage, the resort guarantees good snow cover throughout the season. With most of them rated red and black, this isn’t a resort for beginners, but confident intermediates upwards will love the terrain, especially after fresh snow. Access is quick thanks to a good, modern lift system.
The village itself is relatively small and its location at 1641m means you’re at a snowsure altitude. There’s also the option of staying at the other end of the ski area at St Margarethen im Lungnau, a pretty valley town with access via gondola to the main slopes. Off the slopes there’s some good winter walking routes and a toboggan trail. Getting here is quick and easy, with the route from Salzburg taking less than an hour and a half.

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 24/03
After a pretty desperate season, bumper conditions finally – finally – arrive for Austria, as it experiences its first Nortstau event of the season through the middle of this week.
Unsettled conditions drifting in from the north will bring with it cold temperatures as the freezing line takes a long walk off a short pier; from a daytime high of 2,400m on Wednesday it will plummet to sea level by Friday morning.
These unsettled conditions will of course mean snow, with good snowfall hitting the Austrian Alps on Wednesday afternoon and continuing steadily until Friday morning; this will see around 45cm fall, particularly focused across higher ground as the freezing line works its way down the elevation chart steadily over this period. Around 25cm will fall on Thursday alone.
Expect the avalanche risk to increase over this period as this new snowfall sits on either wet ground, wet snow, or a spring freeze-thaw crust; plan your backcountry routes carefully, and check your local avalanche forecast before heading out.
Sun returns with gusto on Saturday, before the last few flurries of cloud and snow move in over Sunday and the new week.
