The Hauser Kaibling ski area is the eastern access point in the Schladming-Dachstein ski region and therefore also forms one quarter of the 4-mountain “Skischaukel” connecting the four largest Styrian ski areas of Planai, Hochwurzen, Reiteralm and Hauser Kaibling. In 2010 and 2013, Hauser Kaibling was crowned European ski area test winner.

The aforementioned four interconnected ski areas share 123 kilometres of immaculately groomed runs, 44 modern lifts and 56 welcoming ski lodges, ensuring memorable skiing for enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. There are numerous parking spaces available directly by the base station in Haus/Ennstal, avoiding the need to walk any long distances carrying equipment. So all that’s left to do is pull on your boots and hit the slopes! The Gipfelbahn carries skiers up to 2015 metres above sea level. As a result, the Hauser Kaibling ski area is the highest point in the Schladming 4-mountain Skischaukel.

37 of the 123 kilometres of runs in the ski region are part of Hauser Kaibling, and these are particularly geared towards beginners and skiers who enjoy laid-back turns. Carving fans will love the wide and varied groomers here, particularly the long valley runs, one of which is the FIS World Cup Women’s course (no. 1). The Osthang Piste (no. 9) and Höfi trail (no. 3) are also fantastic. In the area around the middle station and the Kaiblingalm, the emphasis is very much on families. The abundance of blue runs, like the Kaiblingalm trail (no. 8) ensure laid-back and worry-free turns on the slopes of Hauser Kaibling. A designated beginners’ area in the valley as well as a mini-kids club are designed to help little ones find their feet on two skis. The new Audi Kinderland opened its doors on the Kaiblingalm in winter 2014/15, and it’s the place where the ski stars of tomorrow can gain their first slalom experience or take on the roller course. All the runs on Hauser Kaibling can be artificially fed with snowmaking.

The ski area also includes a leisure zone with free WiFi at 1,800 metres above sea level. This gives you the opportunity to post your mountain selfies online directly. There’s also a large ski depot in the base station arena. Thanks to the "Almlammprojekt” launched in 2008, Hauser Kaibling can also claim to be a one of the most environmentally friendly mountains around. As the groomed terrain is used to farm sheep in the summer months, considerably less use of heavy machines and equipment is required here.

On Mountain Dining

15 cosy lodges and panoramic restaurants are available in Hauser Kaibling for enjoying food and drinks on the mountain. They all feature table service, which means no waiting around in queues. Original Styrian fare like Kassupp´n with bacon croutons in a bread bowl or home-made curd strudel are fixtures in the Knapplhüttn. If you value regional produce and like a good glass of wine, then the Krummholzhütte, said to be the no.1 connoisseur lodge in Austria, is obviously a must. Lots of famous faces have been known to frequent this mountain eatery.

In Platzhirsch, up at 1,432 metres above sea level, Styrian hospitality meets a contemporary chill-out area to great effect. The stylish lounge atmosphere is a fantastic place to grab a pizza, burger or currywurst.

Must-Ski Runs

Discerning skiers looking for the perfect runs and new challenges should head for the trail down from the Kaiblingalm area over to Planai – after all, it’s referred to as “die Schönste” (“The most beautiful”) for good reason! The black-rated Panorama run is also a must for all experts. Although the intermediate Prenner valley run is much mellower, it’s every bit as eye-catching as it winds its way down through to trees to the base station.
