Our reviewers mention that the snow reliability here is brilliant, and you'll find everything from mellow cruisers to some genuinely challenging runs.
-
Übungsland (Blue): A wide, gentle slope right by the Hohe Mut lift that's absolutely spot-on for building confidence on your first few days.
-
Schermerbahn (Blue): This broad blue from Hochgurgl down towards the valley offers consistent pitch and plenty of width for practising your turns.
-
Wurmkogl I (Red): A properly satisfying cruiser that drops from the Wurmkogl summit with sweeping turns and excellent snow coverage throughout the season.
-
Hohe Mut Abfahrt (Red): Starting from 3,080m, this red run delivers stunning glacier views and reliable snow quality, making it a favourite for intermediates looking to clock up vertical.
-
Festkoglabfahrt (Red): A long, flowing red that connects the two resort areas with varied terrain and some lovely carved sections when conditions are right.
-
Roßkar (Red): One Snomad community member liked this one for its consistent pitch and the fact it holds good snow even later in the season.
-
Hohe Mut Variante (Black): A properly steep mogul run that drops from the Hohe Mut area, demanding decent technique when it's bumped up.
-
David's Direttissima (Black): The resort's most notorious piste - a relentlessly steep fall-line blast that'll test your nerve and leg strength in equal measure.
