My ski area in Carinthia

For several months of the year, the green, gentle peaks of the Nockberge mountains are transformed into white giants, with wide slopes in the Bad Kleinkirchheim ski area or the Turracher Höhe ski area carving their way down into the valley. These are ski resorts where carving is great fun and families can ski or snowboard down into the valley together. Those looking for further challenges can ski to the end. Steep slopes rise up at their foothills, over which the 50-hectare freeride area on the Goldeck sports mountain stretches in winter.

Ski resorts for your first ski turns

Less crowding at the access points and cheaper ski pass prices: Sometimes less is more: especially when you're just learning to ski or snowboard and the number of kilometres skied per day hardly matters. In addition to the Heidi Alm Falkert and the Hochrindl, the Goldeck sports mountain is also an ideal terrain for families with children (Tips & offers for the family ski winter) and skiers who are taking their first turns after a long break (Learn to ski (again) in 3 days).
