Ski Austria<br />
Nassfeld<br />
This is a rarity: a ski resort<br />
with its own microclimate.<br />
Channels from the Adriatic<br />
dump powder on the<br />
mountain, giving Nassfeld a<br />
reputation as the “snow hole<br />
of Carinthia”. Since it’s such<br />
a big area and relatively<br />
quiet, you don’t even have to<br />
rise early to guarantee fresh<br />
tracks. At 110km (plus the<br />
off-piste), there’s no lack of<br />
mountain. Ski from Austria<br />
to Italy and back in a day!<br />
Elevation:<br />
600m to 2,000m<br />
Total piste distance:<br />
110km<br />
Difficulty:<br />
30km blue (27%),<br />
69km red (63%),<br />

Katschberg<br />

beginners, 40km of reds, and<br />
also an impressive 20km of<br />

well worth spending a couple of<br />
days off the skis, too – the area<br />

routes and torchlit hiking.<br />
