A Relaxing Winter Holiday on a Sunny Plateau
Also in winter, the region lives up to its name “sunny terrace of Salzburg”.

Enjoy skiing without meeting large crowds, far from the hustle and bustle. The small ski resort with 10km of pistes is ideal for families, children and beginners. However, since it’s set in the holiday destination “Sportwelt Amadé”, the large ski resorts are not too far away.
