Ski area Dachstein West - Gosau/Russbach/Annaberg

With the "Dachstein West" lift pass, you have 135 varied kilometres of piste (including ski routes) - served by 53 lift systems - at your disposal. Beginners, advanced skiers and of course professionals will find the right descent here. The region is characterised by wide, easy to moderately difficult pistes surrounded by dense winter forests.

The entrances to the region's largest ski area with 54 kilometres of piste (including ski routes) are located right next to the villages of Gosau, Russbach and Annaberg. Free ski buses make it easy to transfer to the other villages and ski areas in the Dachstein West region.

The fun slopes also promise lots of fun: slalom course with time measurement, snowcross facility and wave run. Mogul pistes called Donnergroll, Schwarzreiter and Freier Fall also inspire experts. A popular destination for snowboarders is the Family Park Dachstein West - freestylers get their money's worth here!

Many fun children's areas and children's clubs ensure a successful family holiday. The youngest winter sports experts can let off steam in the Kinderland Bärencamp at the Hornbahn cable car - for example on a small boardercross course or slalom through the fairytale characters. Fuxi's Kinderland, Zwisiland, magic carpets and fun parks specially designed for children also make children's hearts beat faster.

The panoramic ski circuit "Panoronda" with a total length of 44 km has been in existence for several years. A varied experience on perfectly groomed and marked pistes. Rustic huts and sun terraces invite you to take a break and enjoy the fantastic view.

Would you like to share the impressions of your day's skiing with friends and family? No problem! There are several Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the Dachstein West ski region - in the fun park, at huts and lift stations. So you can immediately share your fun with others, send photos and keep up to date.

Après ski Dachstein West - Gosau/Russbach/Annaberg

Gosau, Russbach and Annaberg are more traditional, Upper Austrian mountain villages. So you can't expect a lot of après ski. However, people like to meet up for a nightcap at the "JetBar" at the Panorama Jet valley station or the "Go-Gosau" umbrella bar, where there is always a good atmosphere. Cosiness and hospitality are very important here and families in particular feel very comfortable for this reason.

The supporting programme is varied and ranges from horse-drawn sleigh rides and tobogganing to Bavarian curling. Gosau also has more than 40 kilometres of winter hiking trails just waiting to be explored. After an energy-sapping day on the piste, a visit to the indoor pool is also worthwhile.

Snowpark Dachstein West - Gosau/Russbach/Annaberg: Family Park Dachstein West

The Dachstein West ski region has a total of four different fun parks and has something for every freestyler! If you want to jump straight into the fun from Gosau, the "Ötscher Kids Park Gosau", which is located right next to the valley station, is the place to go. With its own lifts, freestylers can explore the runs of the park, which has a wide variety of obstacles, without being disturbed.

However, those looking for the ultimate kicker should definitely check out the "Family Park Dachstein West"! Obstacles such as the 6-metre-long wave box and various medium kickers, a jib box and a 70-metre-long wave run provide the ultimate adrenaline rush. Does all this seem too daring for you? No problem, because beginner elements also allow newcomers to discover weightlessness. Professional shapers guarantee first-class shred sessions. Thanks to the free Wi-Fi hotspot, you can also share new successes straight away.

Of course, the "Rookie Park" in Russbach and the "Kids Run" in Annaberg are also worth a visit. They are perfect for beginners.
