the slopes
Skiing 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.
Skiing 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.
Skiing 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!
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.
