Alpbachtal

Reither Kogel's slopes and the Kinderland JUPPI-DO (1337 meters / 4386 feet) in the area of Alpbach are considered to be ideal for families and beginners. There, the little ones can try skiing for the first time in a playful way with an obstacle course, play stations and conveyor belt. Check out the other blue and red trails that are all easy to master, even for beginners. The children's areas in Inneralpbach near the 'Pöglbahn' are another good place for families. 

At Gmahkopf (1900 meters) you will find many runs suitable for families as well. The long Familienabfahrt 46 (family slope 46) is great, give it a shot!

If you are looking for a real challenge, try the black slope, serviced by 'Hornbahn 2000' or the slope off the chairlift  'Brandegg'.

Alpbachtal features a snowpark for freestylers that boasts creative elements and lines of all difficulty levels. The Skimovie track and the SpeedCheck on the Wiedersberger Horn are particularly popular with skiers of all ages.
