The slopes
Ski Information Beginners
St. Wolfgang is a beginner's paradise. The Postalm has an extensive range of easy slopes on which to gain confidence (lessons may also be taken on the Puchberg nursery slopes just outside St. Wolfgang - conditions permitting). Complete novices will enjoy learning with our special 'First Time’ packages.
Ski Information Intermediates
The Postalm is ideal for improving your skiing technique in very picturesque surroundings. Dachstein West (Gosau) is also well worth a visit for a day or two. It is a large, more challenging area, primarily made up of red runs.
Ski Information Advanced
Skiing for experts is limited on the Postalm. However, there are some great runs to tackle in Dachstein West (Gosau), with 141km of piste.
Ski Information Snowboarding
The gentle terrain at Postalm provides a perfect introduction to snowboarding. Those looking for a greater challenge should head for Gosau, where there is a park and pipe to play in!
