The Ski Resort
In the heart of the Austrian Alps, in the district of Lungau, you will find the Katschberg ski area. Winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy their turns here on 70 kilometres of alpine slopes of all levels of difficulty. In the sun-drenched skiing area, ten kilometres of pistes are marked blue, 40 kilometres of downhill runs are marked red and 20 kilometres are marked black. In the medium-sized ski area, everyone will find the right winter sports terrain for themselves - whether beginner, beginner, advanced or professional. The perfectly groomed and varied slopes are guaranteed to snow thanks to the latest snow-making technology. From the valley stations of Katschberg and St. Margarethen, 16 modern lifts take winter sports enthusiasts to Aineck (2,220 metres) and Tschaneck (2,030 metres), the two mountains in the ski area.
