If you love skiing but live in Vienna or are on holiday here, you usually have to allow a certain amount of time for the journey to the nearest ski area. The larger ski areas are located here. But also in the province of Vienna itself, there are several opportunities to get on your skis.The oldest ski area in Austria, the Hohe Wand Wiese, is in Vienna's 14th district. History has already been made on this slope: Numerous major winter sports events have taken place here.
Snow cannons were installed on the Hohe Wand meadow as early as 1966. The ski slope in the city of Vienna was also equipped with a ski lift and floodlights. But as Vienna's winters got warmer and warmer, the ski slope had to close its gates in 2016 and so did the lift - the pruning effort was too much. Currently, all you find here in winter is a short "magic carpet" and plastic mats, mainly used for children's ski lessons without snow. The so-called dry piste offers 40 metres of piste.
For most adults, the facility probably has little appeal - unless you are a brave beginner and are on skis for the first time. In that case, practising on dry land can be perfect preparation for bigger ski runs.
Inside Vienna's city limits there is another ski area for practising: the Dollwiese. It offers a track length of around 120 metres and is located in the district of Vienna Penzing. Those who enjoy the full pleasure of the slopes will not get their money's worth here, but for ski beginners and children the Dollwiese is perfect for learning the first turns.
Whether you're looking for quiet family ski resorts or the full programme with fun park and co. - you can reach great winter sports destinations from Vienna in one to two hours by car.A close to the Austrian capital, all ski and snowboard fans will get their money's worth!
Are you looking for a varied ski area near Vienna? Then you've come to the right place at Zauberberg Semmering. The so-called Vienna's local mountain is located in the very south of the capital, not far from the Styrian border. From Vienna, you can reach the popular winter sports area in about an hour by taking the A2 to Wiener Neustadt and then continuing towards Bruck an der Mur. However, Semmering is not only a well-known destination for amateur skiers; the Hirschenkogel is also a World Cup venue. At Semmering you can expect 14 kilometres of pistes and three lifts. Together, the gondola lift and chairlift can take over 5,000 guests up the mountain every hour. At the top you have the choice between blue beginner slopes and exciting red slopes. In Semmering you will find the largest night skiing offer in Europe, as it is possible to visit a total of six night pistes even after sunset. Thanks to the floodlights, the slopes are also worth a visit at night. However, the ski area is not only suitable for classic piste skiing, but is also popular with cross-country skiers.
