Skiing for Every Level

The Großeck-Speiereck piste sits above the towns of St Michael or Mauterndorf and offers 47km of confidence building skiing for beginners and early intermediate skiers. The slopes comprise of 23km of blue runs; 17km of red runs and 7km of black runs. The long winding blue runs down from the Grosseck peak to Mauterndorf are the ideal starting grounds for most groups. More advanced skiers can head straight to the top of Speiereck at 2411m to try out the ridge line red or one of the 3 plunging blacks. Whatever your level you will find the open slopes offer fantastic views across the valley and are ideal for building the confidence in the first few days of your visit. The 5 chairlifts & single gondola plus the 7 surface lifts will ensure speedy access to all areas of the mountain.

The Fanningberg area may be the smallest in the Lungau region but the 30km on offer consists of 20km of long winding blue & red runs and 10km of sharp, steep black piste that will be a test for every skier. The area is well worth a visit to try one of the longest 6 man chair lifts in Europe – the “Samson-Jet”. The secrets to this area are the north facing slopes, a number of terr lined slopes and a starting base level of 1500m – this means great snow conditions throughout the season one of the sides of the Schwandhohe & Fanninghohe mountains.Sk
