Ski area
"Dachstein West" in Gosau

The ski region is characterized by the breathtaking view of the Dachstein, which offers an impressive backdrop for the skiing experience. There are varied descents on over 160 kilometres of slopes, including the 44-kilometre-long "Dachstein Tour". The ski area is particularly suitable for families. It offers special children's areas (e.g. the Zwisiland and the Fredyland) and gentle fun slopes. Action fans can let off steam on tracks such as the Marcel Hirscher race track with timekeeping, speed measurement tracks, mogul slopes and snowcross facilities. Almost all slopes can be artificially snowed, which allows for a high level of snow reliability and a long season. In addition to the slopes, there are also cross-country ski trails, snowshoe trails and ski touring opportunities.

How’s the weather?

I'm coming to Hallstatt in February – what will the weather be like? Our editorial department receives these and other questions regarding the weather, on a daily basis. For this reason we have compiled some information for you below: Between June and early September is midsummer in the region. We recommend light and airy clothes, bathing suits and of course an umbrella. Because without rain, it is not a summer. In the months of September to the end of November it is Autumn in the Salzkammergut. Warm clothing is required; non-slip footwear and the obligatory umbrella should be in your luggage. Between the beginning of December and the beginning of March winter has its say. Warm jackets and shoes are now in demand, because in these months, the thermometer can sometimes fall to minus 10 degrees Celsius. In the Salzkammergut Spring usually awakes at the end of March or beginning of April. Then it is a bit more airy. However, you should have a rain jacket in your luggage at this time of year. Those who follow these
