Flachau - enjoy the endless expanse of the Ski amadé!
At an altitude of 920 m in the heart of Salzburger Land, lies Flachau, where the pistes are already drenched in sun in the early morning hours. The home of world champions Hermann Maier (skiing) and Manuela Riegler (snowboarding) is not just the venue for the alpine ski world cup, but a great destination for those active during the day and night too! The resort offers a comprehensive tourism infrastructure and the "Gemütlichkeit" of a typical mountain village. During the day you can kill time shopping, sunbathing on the sun terraces or by taking part in any of the countless sports activities such as tennis or tobogganing. Evenings you can head off to the clubs, bars and numerous ski lodges for a good time until the wee hours. "Snow Space Flachau" was even chosen as the world's most innovative winter tourism concepts!
SkiWith the lift pass “Ski amadé” you have access to an unbelievable 760 km of piste, as well as 270 lifts in this huge lift pass union (see ski region)! The Salzburger Sportwelt is located in the centre of “Ski Amadé” and meets all the requirements for a great skiing holiday!
In the Salzburger Sportwelt alone, there are 240 km of piste and 91 lift systems at altitudes between 619 and 2,188 m available. The sprawling ski links Kleinarl/Flachauwinkl/Zauchensee and Flachau/Wagrain/St. Johann/Alpendorf are the top destinations in the network and owe their notoriety to such events as the Alpine Ski World Cup in Flachau. Families, beginners and cross-country skiers will find suitable areas, whereas the pros will be drawn to Zauchensee. Diverse funparks await boarders, e.g. the Absolut Park in Flachauwinkl, which offers everything a boarder's heart desires: rail combos, half-pipe, jib park, the "chill house" and numerous events. This snow park also counts as one of the longest terrain parks in Europe with its 1.5 km length. First-class deep snow territory can be found on Monte Popolo or around the Zauchensee. With its opportunities, the Salzburger Sportwelt sets winter sports standards!
Additionally, there are 400 Wi-Fi hotspots at your disposal in the whole ski area, at huts and at the lift stations. Like this you can keep your friends at home updated with your newest photos and greetings from the snow!
The gondola "G-Link" between the mountains of Wagrain offers a quick transfer between the parts Flachau-Wagrain/Grießenkareck and Wagrain/Grafenberg-Alpendorf. The well equipped chairlifts almost all have a weather hood and heated seats, many also have a security bracket for children that closes automatically. The ski area is know to be an explicitly child- and family friendly resort - the area offers 11 ski schools, childcare facilities, ski-game-lessons for the little ones from 2 years, and children's ski lessons for children from 4 years. Further highlights are the "Winterwelt" Wagrain, the Alpine Coaster in Flachau as well as the "Teufelsweg" with adventurous folk figures.
Having hardly left the piste, the numerous après ski opportunities will beckon you to continue the good times off the slopes. The bars and pubs at the valley station invite you in to chill out or party: now is the time for a cosy chat with friends or to meet new people. A visit to the "Dampfkessel" and the "Hofstadl" should be mandatory for every apres ski fan! Dance until the sun comes up in the "Yetis Partyhouse" and "Ema's Pub". Those who haven't had enough of the slopes can have dinner in one of the numerous restaurants and then head to the 1.5 km long floodlit piste at 8er Jet (open twice a week).
For leisurely hours away from the piste, there are tobogganing rides on one of the 4 illuminated runs, or the year-round Lucky Flitzer toboggan run, ice skating, or romantic horse-drawn sleigh rides through the wintry landscape on offer. A special highlight is a visit to the thermal baths "Therme amadé" in Pongau, where you can really lean back an let go. Relaxation can also be found strolling through the resort with its lovely shops and finding a seat in one of the cafés.
