Ski area Großglockner-Heiligenblut
The lift pass "Großglockner" gives you access to 47 kilometres of snow-sure and free pistes as well as 10 lifts between 1,301 and 2,989 m. Here, at the foot of Austria's highest mountain (3,798 m), skiers, snowboarders and carvers can mainly enjoy intermediate slopes - and a dream-like backdrop!
The broad slopes at Sonnen- and Fleissalm are perfect in order to try out the first swings in the snow. The steep piste from the Schareck summit to the Fallbichl is a true challenge for experienced skiers as well, just like the ski route from Schareck to Fleissalm. The lift that goes through a former water pipeline tunnel from the Roßbach midway station to Fleissalm is a unique experience.
The greater part of the pistes is above the tree line, so that off-piste fans can make short side trips through the deep snow. The Freeride Arena at Großglockner leaves nothing to be desired. There are several different runs for ski and boarders waiting to be explored in the area between Gjaidtroghöhe at an altitude of 2,989 m, and the mountain valley Heiligenblut at an altitude of 1,288 m - free riders can let off steam on an area of more than 15 km². Ski tours can best be made in the High Tauern National Park, which is one of the largest ski touring areas in the Eastern Alps. There even is a National Park ski tour bus.
The quaint mountain huts in the ski area invite you to enjoy regional specialities with a unique mountain panorama view. Family with children and those looking for relaxation will have a wonderful time here.

Après ski Winklern
After an eventful and exciting day on skis you can spend a relaxed evening with friends in a ski hut with typically Austrian specialities and schnapps. In Winklern for example, the "Winklerner Hut", located on an altitude of 1,906 m, welcomes you to culinary treats. Homemade "kasnudeln", dumplings or "spaetzle" you will surely find your favourite, and can allow the day to wind down.
Alternatively you can have fun on the natural toboggan run, on the ice skating rink or while curling. An idyllic horse-drawn sleigh ride or an unhurried winter hike on prepared trails could also be an option.
Those who are in for a little more action should get on their way to Mörtschach or Heiligenblut in the evening, where you can look forward to numerous further pubs and huts. Here you can dance and party until late into the night.
