The slopes
Ski Information Beginners
The Hochalm area is ideal for beginners. The nursery slopes are directly by the gondola station allowing easy access to the slopes. On some of the higher beginners slopes you can also take in the breathtaking alpine panoramas of some of the highest mountains in Austria. Taught by efficient and friendly ski instructors you will experience some of the best tuition in the area.
Ski Information Intermediates
The Kreuzboden and Waldalm areas have well groomed, wide, long red runs, excellent for improving your technique - accessed directly from the village by comfortable chairlifts.
Ski Information Advanced
A little known treasure! The black run from the Heimalm to the bottom of the gondola is really something special. There can also be priceless deep snow on unprepared pistes. Waldalm and Kreuzboden slopes give you a fantastic 3.3km run!
Ski Information Snowboarding
Rauris is a fairly small area well suited to newcomers. However there is some great cruising to be had on well groomed pistes. There is a snowboard school and magic carpet lift to make those first few turns slightly easier.
