You can look forward to descents down perfectly groomed and variety-packed hills! Choose between the ski alliances of Stubnerkogel-Angertal-Schlossalm and Dorfgastein-Großarl, which awaits you with permanent race hill, the World Championship-calibre Graukogel with its long and challenging runs, and the high-alpine Sportgastein, which is a paradise for freeriders.
