Abtenau - family-friendly ski enjoyment!
Abtenau is the tranquil, chief city of Lammertals in Salzburger Land and lies at an altitude of 712 m, approx. 60 km south of Salzburg. In summer as well as winter Abtenau has a small village, cosy feeling, which is especially welcomed by families. This is also home to two-time champion and World Cup overall winner Alexandra Meissnitzer and the world champion David Zwilling. The illuminating winter toboggan run offers 3.2 km of tobogganing enjoyment. Also worth a visit is the ice skating rink at the sports centre in Abtenau.
SkiWith the regional lift pass "Dachstein West" you will find 155 km of piste waiting to be explored in the ski area of Dachstein West with Gosau, Russbach and Annaberg, as well as the Freesports Arena Dachstein Krippenstein and the areas of Feuerkogel, Karkogel, St. Martin, Lungötz and Dürrnberg. The 52 lift systems provide ideal access to the desired pistes. The quaint and manageable ski area Karkogel at Abtenau with the challenging "David-Zwilling" and "Alexandra-Meissnitzer" World Cup run lies directly in front of the door. Within only a few minutes you can also reach the ski area "Postalm" which partly still belongs to the resort Abtenau.
Russbach, approx. 9 km from Abtenau, offers the perfect access point to the interconnected Dachstein-West. The regional ski pass additionally offers you wonderful descents in various other ski areas, which are all connected with complementary ski buses. Especially beginners and wallowers, but also experts will find wonderful pistes which offer good diversity. The "Gaudipisten" (fun pistes) provide slalom descents with time tracking, snow-cross areas, wave and mogul pistes. And for whomever this is not enough "Gaudi" yet, can get a kick with some night skiing at the Ötscherlift.
Beginners will feel well catered for on the wide and extensively maintained blue pistes to practise their first swings. Families with children have long ago recognised that this ski region is ideal for their needs. There are many offers for the little ones, some ski kindergartens and ski camps which all provide loads of fun for children.
In the various funparks, skiers and snowboarders can equally run riot. The Dachstein West snow park in the Russbach area is the largest and most diverse, and provides jumps, rails and tables. Freeriders will find what they are looking for in the "Freesport Arena Krippenstein", a real hotspot in the freerider scene.
The panorama ski circuit "Panoronda" with a total of 44 km of piste is a diverse experience on perfectly prepared and signposted pistes. Cosy huts and sun terraces are available for breaks and especially for enjoying the magnificent panorama view.
Do you want to share the experiences you made during the ski day with your friends and family? No problem! There are altogether 13 Wi-Fi hotspots within the Dachstein West ski area - in the fun park as well as in cottages and lifts. Like this you can let others know about the fun you are having, send photos and find out about the latest news.
Apres ski fans turn into the huts and umbrella bars in the ski area - like the Knittlhütte bar at Karkogel - or into the bars and discos of the resort after a long day on the piste. Local specialities, but also international cuisine can be found in the inns and restaurants.
Let yourself be pampered, not only by the culinary highlights, but also with some relaxing spa treatments. There are three spa facilities in close proximity to Abtenau: "Aqua Salza Golling", "Heiltherme Bad Vigaun" (healing thermal baths) and the "Therme Amadé".
If you want to remain active after skiing you can make use of the winter hiking trails in the area - 50 km of signposted walkways are available. Or you can go on a guided ski tour in the Tenne Mountains. The 3.2 km long toboggan run is lit up in the evenings and provides fun into the late hours of the night. Sledging is however not the only form of fun sport on offer: try snowbiking, airboarding or ski bockerl riding - all of which can be found in Abtenau directly. Ice skaters are drawn to the resort's ice rink.
All cross-country fans will love the extensive cross-country network in the Dachstein-West region. With approx. 223 km of trails, no wish in left unfulfilled. Most are to be found around Abtenau (approx. 60 km). The easy floodlit trail "Karkogel" and the snow-sure high-altitude run on the Postalm are here as well. 22 km of skating tracks and a free cross-country skiing lessons round off the offer.
Moreover, the cross-country network in Gosau offers over 50 km to choose from. Around 20 km of them are difficult, 25 km are of intermediate level and 5 km are easy. At approx. 11 km in length, the "Dorfloipe" in Gosau is the longest trail in the region and offers both beginners and the more advanced winter-sport fans great variety.
