Small Ski Mountains for the Whole Family

01.11.2024

Galsterberg
The new Galsterberg gondola, opened just last year, takes guests from the valley to the mountain station in just six and a half minutes. Waiting times are now a thing of the past. Thanks to broad glass frontage, passengers enjoy an impressive 360-degree panoramic view during their gondola ride. With padded individual seats and plenty of legroom, the 10-person gondola offers the highest level of comfort, able to transport up to 1,800 people per hour. Numerous easy slopes afford beginners, children, and families plenty of space to show off their skiing skills. The family highlight on the Galsterberg is the "Gallic Ski Village," with many attractions for big and small alike.

Rittisberg
An ultra-modern combo lift transports guests up the mountain with a mix of 10-person gondolas and 6-person chairlifts, meeting the diverse needs of practically all winter sports fans. Skilled skiers can ride the 6-person chairs up the mountain in total comfort and quickly return to the valley on their skis. Meanwhile, children, cross-country skiers, tobogganers, and winter hikers can all float up the Rittisberg in comfortable 10-person gondolas and start a winter adventure of their own from the top station. The Rittisberg offers excellent alternatives to alpine skiing for cross-country skiers, winter hikers, and snowshoers.

Riesneralm
The Riesneralm in Donnersbachwald is home to the very first KinderLand in Austria. On an area equivalent to roughly seven soccer fields, five hills and five lifts offer ideal conditions for young ski enthusiasts. With 32 kilometers of pistes, the Riesneralm also boasts ample space for adults. True to their motto “Fewer Lift Rides, More Skiing,” four ultra-long ski runs drop all the way down to the valley. The “SkiMovie Race Hill” excites skiers with its cameras and whole new perspectives. In the KISI children's ski area, you will discover a brand-new permanent race hill. The "MAKIA. SKI Performance Center" right by the valley station of the Panorama 6-Seater Lift offers ski coaching up to professional standards.

Planneralm
As the highest ski village in the region, the Planneralm has always prioritized natural, top-quality snow conditions. Year after year, the diverse and ever-changing snows at elevations between 1,600 and 2,200 meters provide a fresh and exciting experience for everyone. Whether kids are playing or sledding in the deep snow, skiers are hitting the slopes, or freeriders and ski tourers are exploring the open terrain, there is something here for everyone. Families, especially, simply love the Planneralm for its child-friendly lifts and very reasonable prices.

Ramsau am Dachstein
The Ramsau am Dachstein ski region is home to the biggest ski network for kids in all of Styria. In "Kaliland" and on seven spaciously designed Kali slopes, the little dudes can playfully immerse themselves in the world of skiing, accompanied by Kali, the cuddly mascot of this winter sports resort. The Rittisberg offers a wide range of pistes with varying levels of difficulty. Families can enjoy broad slopes, a fairytale ski trail, and a 3.5-kilometers-long toboggan run. Experienced skiers can also venture out into steeper terrain, and a dedicated practice slope has been created for the pros.
