Ski area Dachstein West

Guests staying in St. Martin am Tennengebirge can enjoy the Dachstein West ski area, only ten minutes away by car. The gigantic ski area can be accessed via a lift in Annaberg im Lammertal. Skiers and snowboarders can expect a total of 160 kilometres of pistes, which are optimally accessible from 53 lifts and are located at altitudes between 780 and 2,100 metres.

The majority of the pistes in the ski area are easy to moderately difficult to ski. This makes Dachstein West particularly attractive for families with children and beginners who can try out the 57 blue and 95 red kilometres of pistes. The wide and well-developed downhill runs are ideal for learning the first turns. The little skiers are also supported and looked after in one of the ski kindergartens and clubs. Fuxi's children's club is located directly at the valley station of the Donnerkogelbahn lift, where children from one year of age are looked after. Here the youngest amongst the winter sports enthusiasts learn to ski playfully with the guidance of professional ski instructors. Mascot Fuxi makes sure that the fun is not left out.

Advanced skiers and snowboarders have the opportunity to prove their technique on the eight black kilometres of pistes. If you are fit enough, you should also plan the Panoronda ski safari. The Panoronda route is 44 kilometres long and - as the name suggests - impresses with breathtaking panoramic views. The numerous rustic huts in the ski area are a great place to take a breath.

Freestylers can present their latest tricks on kickers, rails and boxes in the four fun parks of the ski resort. The Dachstein West Snowpark is the largest and should definitely be visited by freestyle lovers. Besides the snowparks there are 14 so-called Gaudipisten. Gaudipisten are pistes on which beginners and advanced skiers can face different challenges. Slalom runs with timekeeping, mogul slopes and snowcross tracks are examples of the fun-packed Gaudipisten that provide plenty of variety and, of course, a lot of fun.

Night skiing St. Martin am Tennengebirge

Snow lovers who, after an exciting day in the Dachstein West ski area, still didn't get enough fun on the pistes can count themselves lucky. Once a week there is the possibility to ski down the pistes of the ski area at a late hour. For this purpose, the lower part of the pistes of the valley descent at the Ötscher lift is illuminated by floodlights, so that nothing stands in the way of night-time fun on the pistes. The downhill run is approx. 1 km long and marked red, so that beginners, as well as advanced winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy it. A following visit to the Hornspitz umbrella bar rounds off the evening. Close to the valley station of the Hornspitz bar is the Brumsiland practice piste, which can also be used once a week at a late hour. Skiers and snowboarders, who have never stood on their boards after dark, should definitely try this. Drawing traces into the snow under a clear starry sky is definitely an experience you won't forget.

Après ski St. Martin am Tennengebirge

Skiers and snowboarders enjoy a large selection of ski huts and umbrella bars in the Dachstein West ski area, inviting them to take a breath or enjoy a warm drink. Right next to the Törleck chairlift is, for example, the Breininghütte. In the small, rustic alpine hut, winter sports enthusiasts can expect a wide selection of drinks, home-made soups and delicious Brettljausn (Austrian hearty snack). Younger guests can enjoy relaxed music in the Freeride-Bar at the top station of the Kopfberg cable car, while après ski lovers can enjoy themselves in the umbrella bars and party huts of the ski area. This, for example on the Gogosau Alm where DJs are heating up the party crowed every day.

But also away from the pistes there are many possibilities to make the day varied and exciting. Families with children should pack their sledges, as there is a natural toboggan run in the village that guarantees fun for the whole family. After a 30-minute winter hike, you can get refreshed on the Buttermilchalm before descending into the valley. The toboggan run is open all day and even illuminated until 23:00. Further toboggan runs are located at the snack stations Höllenallm, Halmgut and Sittleralm. In addition, adventurous snow lovers can enjoy snow tubing on inflatable tyres on an approx. 350 m long snow canal down the valley.

Nature lovers will also find what they are looking for in St. Martin am Tennengebirge. The picturesque landscape and breathtaking mountain scenery make wonderful winter hikes and walks possible. Numerous restaurants and pubs invite you to eat and drink, and captivate you with culinary delicacies from the region.
