The Ski Resort
Nestled between Stubwies, Rote Wand and Warscheneck lies the Wurzeralm ski resort at 1400 meters above sea level. The immediate freeway access guarantees a fast and comfortable arrival. In no time at all, the funicular takes you to the ski area. A total of seven other lifts will then take you to the most idyllic spots on the Wurzeralm. Wonderful downhill runs of all levels of difficulty await you here, although slopes for experienced skiers are few and far between.
Nevertheless, the Wurzeralm has its charm even for experienced skiers. The reason for this, in addition to the "Hannes Trinkl" World Cup course, the "Inferno Piste" and the "Höss Totale", is the popular "Panorama Round". Along various vantage points, it goes from the valley station once completely through the entire ski area, without having to cover a slope twice.
The Wurzeralm is a dream come true, especially for beginners and families with small children. At the Linzerhaus lift and the junior jet drag lift, beginners have easy practice slopes at their disposal, which are easy to reach. In addition, 10 kilometers of blue-marked slopes ensure that even inexperienced skiers have fun. For the little ones there is also the popular Sunny Kids Park on the Wurzeralm.
