The Ski Resort
The Puchenstuben ski lifts are located in the Lower Austrian Mostviertel region. The Turmkogel lift I takes winter sports enthusiasts up to the 1,040-metre high Rosskogel. The Turmkogel lift II then takes you up to the 1,245-metre high Turmkogel. There beginners will find the children's area and the ski school.
Those who would rather skip the ride with the Turmkogel lifts can also take the car directly to the Florkogel and use the area around the baby lift for practising. There is also a magic carpet here, which takes beginners to the practice slope.
The floodlit lift in the village of Puchenstuben also guarantees skiing fun until the evening hours.
