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 />

11km black runs (10%)<br />

Number of lifts: 30<br />

Katschberg<br />

Snow-secure at 2,220m, this<br />

resort between Salzburg<br />

and Carinthia offers riding for<br />

every level. <strong>The</strong>re’s 10km for<br />

beginners, 40km of reds, and<br />

also an impressive 20km of<br />

challenging black pistes. It’s<br />

well worth spending a couple of<br />

days off the skis, too – the area<br />

boasts stunning snowshoe<br />

routes and torchlit hiking.<br />

Elevation:<br />

1,640m to 2,220m<br />

Total piste distance: 70km<br />

Difficulty:<br />

10km blue (14%),<br />

40km red (57%),<br />

20 black runs (29%)<br />

Number of lifts: 16<br />
