Hochrindl Sirnitz Ski Resort

In the Ski area Hochrindl you can enjoy the winter with the wonderful panorama of the Carinthian Nockberge mountains in the background. Skiers and snowboarders will find nine runs of varying difficulty on 20 kilometres of prepared slopes.

For newcomers on the boards the nine kilometres of blue marked runs (8, II), which start at the Kegel at 1745 m altitude, are ideal for taking the first turns. If you already have more practice, you can explore the six kilometres of red slopes that start from Kegel towards Kruckenspitz. Experts feel really comfortable on the five kilometres of black marked slopes. They start on the 1888 meter high Kruckenspitz.

Thanks to the modern snow-making systems, good snow conditions on the slopes can be guaranteed throughout the winter. Eight lifts bring the winter sports enthusiasts comfortably to Kruckenspitz and Kegel, the two mountains of the ski area. The highest point of the ski area is 1.886 meters.

In the family skiing area the little ones are very big. In the Kinderpark "Känguru-Land" in the Hochrindl valley, the kids can learn to ski with great enthusiasm. They are supported by the teachers of the local ski school. At the end of the ski course there is a small final race.

In the Hochrindl ski area, several huts and mountain restaurants invite you to a stop for refreshments. In the rustic Hiasl Zirbenhütte at Kegel, winter sports enthusiasts can fortify themselves with hearty dishes such as Hiasl Zirbenjaus'n or beef goulash with dumplings. The Sonnenhütte at the top of Kegel mountain enjoys great popularity. Here you can enjoy the sun on the spacious outside terrace on beautiful days. The Herzl Hütte also has an outdoor terrace and is known for its roast pork from the wood-burning oven and the Kässpätzle, which are served in the rustic iron pawns.

Experienced riders should not miss the downhill on the Krucken (1), which can also be used for FIS races. It is the most demanding stretch of the ski area

Away from the alpine slopes, you can enjoy the wonderful winter landscape, for example on the winter hiking trails cleared for this purpose. Ski mountaineer can go on Hochrindl at an altitude between 1400 and 2400 metres and discover exceptionally beautiful destinations.

Cross-country enthusiasts will find a sporting experience on the 11-kilometre-long panorama high-altitude trail. A romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride leads through the snow-covered alpine landscape. It becomes sociable with ice skating.

There are three toboggan runs. Either you rush on the natural toboggan run or on one of the two illuminated toboggan runs on fast runners into the valley.
