Skiing holidays with World Cup feeling
versatile fun on the slopes for all requirements

The three surrounding mountain landscapes provide the perfect terrain with versatile fun on the slopes for all sporting requirements. Budding piste strikers will find almost 24 kilometres of easy piste landscapes that are just right for relaxed cruising. Deep-snow experts and ski racers get their money's worth on the challenging slopes around the mountain peaks. Especially the World Cup downhill run Kälberloch from Gamskogel and the mogul slope on Rosskopf will push every skier to their sporting limits.

Zauchi's Kinderland offers easy practice slopes for little skiing beginners to make their first turns in the snow. The mini lift and magic carpet also ensure fun on the way up. With the support of experienced ski instructors, nothing stands in the way of the upcoming career as a ski pro.

Freeriders can let off steam on three varied routes. The cool "Absolut Funpark" in Flachauwinkl and Kleinarl is a mecca for freestylers and snowboarders, which is just the right terrain for freestyle artists with challenging obstacles. There is a state-of-the-art training centre at the Kogelalm. If you book in advance, you can use the training tracks free of charge.

Excellent service
Ski rental SPORT 2000 Klieber Zauchensee

In the highest skiing area of the Salzburg Sportwelt there is of course the possibility to rent high-quality equipment. The SPORT 2000 Klieber ski rental shop is located in the middle of Zauchensee, a short distance from the Rosskopfbahn and the Kinderland. The sports enthusiastic team has years of experience and provides comprehensive and competent advice.

If you book in advance via the website, you can save up to 20% on your desired equipment thanks to the SPORT 2000 online guarantee. If you rent for 7 days, you only pay for 6, because the last one is free, as are the ski poles: These are included free of charge.

All equipment is professionally serviced after each ski day. This service is also offered for private equipment. The SPORT 2000 Klieber ski rental also functions as a test centre: If you are not sure which skis or snowboard you would like to buy or rent, you can test them extensively, supported by the top trained team.

Winter wonderland Zauchensee
Perfect holiday programme and inviting ski huts

The magnificent mountain panorama and the area around Altenmarkt-Zauchensee can also be explored in a variety of ways away from the slopes. Over 42 km of snowshoe hiking trails alone offer enough activity for several days. The varied tours with different levels of difficulty invite both beginners and advanced hikers to enjoy the untouched nature. Guided hikes are also offered weekly.

If you are experienced with horses, you can book a ride through the snowy winter landscape at the local riding school. An alternative is a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh. If you prefer to walk, you can go on a winter hike on your own. After all, there are around 47 km of prepared hiking trails available here.

After all the activities, we definitely recommend a snack in one of the rustic ski huts. The Gamskogelhütte is located at 1,900 m above sea level and offers a fabulous view of the surrounding peaks. You can also enjoy the sun at the Rosskopfhütte while tasting the homemade cheese dumplings or watching the show cooking on the lava grill.
