The Ski Resort
The ski area of the Arabich lifts in Kirchberg am Wechsel offers families and beginners attractive downhill runs. A total of 2.3 kilometres of slopes attract winter sports fans to the area in Lower Austria.
Thanks to the altitude of up to 1350 metres, natural snow can be expected here. A 650 meter long T-bar lift transports the skiers and snowboarders to the Arabichl. From there, three family tracks lead back down to the valley. For more experienced skiers, the forest descent or the race slope will take you back to the bottom station of the lift.
Important: The lift only runs on weekends (except during the Christmas and semester holidays)!
