Although it has only 30 km of slopes, Rauris can prove to be a hit for those going to ski with their family or people who are just beginning their adventure with skis.

A quick gondola lift carries skiers to a height of 2,200 m above sea level (higher than the popular Zell am See), from where a narrow blue trail leads. After two minutes of skiing you can reach a wide hall, where you can practice carving turns. More advanced skiers will spend a really good time on the 1a and 1 routes, which can be reached by the Waldamlift T-bar lift. In view of the fact that part of the station is on the sidelines, usually there are no people here and you can practice on a very pleasant slope. The black ski run shown on the map is a disappointment – it involves slow skiing along a narrow trail to the bottom. It’s better to focus on the aforementioned route 1.

We recommend Rauris because of the great accommodation. The large ski resorts of Saalbach, Kaprun, Zell am See, Bad Gastein are only 30 minutes away by car and it’s an hour’s drive to Schladming or Flachau.
