The Ski Resort
The Feuerkogel, Upper Austria’s most sun-blessed site, with its family-friendly pistes, fantastic all-round panorama view of Dachstein and of the lakes, cosy Alpine lodges and many sporting opportunities, invites you to experience an unforgettable snow adventure in the heart of the Salzkammergut! Easy to get to from Ebensee am Traunsee via the Feuerkogel cable car, at 1600 metres you head into the middle of this adventure-filled mountain village.
For winter athletes who like to relax and take things easy, the little ski circus on the Feuerkogel high plateau provides very well prepared pistes and lots of routes for beginners and families. More ambitious snow fanatics will find a challenge to suit them in the six kilometre long unprepared ski run into the valley. Tourers and snow-shoe hikers hold the wonderful plateau in high regard as a starting point for tours of every difficulty level, while many boarders prefer to ‘unnerve’ themselves on the un-tracked slopes down into the valley.
