ust around 20 minutes separate an espresso in town from your first turns in the snow – that’s how close Sportberg Goldeck ski area is. The ski bus provides easy access from Spittal/Millstättersee railway station and the towns around Lake Millstätter See.
Wide pistes, short waiting times and plenty of sunshine make the mountain an insider tip for families, connoisseurs and anyone who wants to combine alpine freedom with urban comfort.
In the morning, take the gondola up to almost 1,800 metres above sea level, where the children's corner on the Goldeck awaits - Carinthia's highest practice area. A magic carpet, two T-bar lifts and snow-sure conditions ensure effortless first turns. The terrain is also perfect for those returning to skiing after a long break. There are special, favourable ski pass rates for training sessions - so getting started skiing on the Goldeck is very relaxed.
This is how the day begins on the slopes at the Goldeck sports centre.
