The ski area "Turracher Höhe" opens up 42 km of piste, accessible via 18 lifts.

Relaxation can be found on free deckchairs at the most beautiful places throughout the ski area. For warming up, you can drop by the "Wohnzimmer" at the valley station of the Kornock lift, where there is also large screen to watch sports events on.
The ski area on the high plateau, on the border between Carinthia and Styria, is the ideal place to go for pleasure skiers and families. The Schafalm lift enlarges the ski area by some further perfectly prepared, diverse pistes. You only need to choose from the best!
Children can gather first experience at the Ottifanten lift of the "English" lift. More experienced skiers can practise their swings just below the mountain station. Along the north-facing slope, there is FIS run which awaits the expert skiers. The "Turracher-Runder 2,250" further offers the possibility to go on an anti-clockwise round course over the Turracher Höher - a unique ski and nature adventure.

Every Wednesday from 20:00 to 21:30 . an approx 500 m floodlit slope opens at the Übungswiesenlift (subject to change, as per info in resort). Then, skiers can make their turns on the slope in the dark and moonlight and really work off their energy. The good thing is that night skiing is included in the lift pass, so all you have to do after a short afternoon break is to strap on your boards again and continue skiing with pleasure.Après ski Turrach
