About the area

Bad Kleinkirchheim in Carinthia offers 68 km of pistes, with the emphasis on red runs: 39 km of them, against 21 km blue and 4 km green. Beginners are still well served — 25 km, or 37% of the area, is green or blue, five magic carpets cover the first steps, and 16 short easy runs sit right next to a lift base. Families get the same benefits, plus four gondolas that avoid chairlift loading with small children. Experts will find little: only 4 km, 5% of the terrain, is black or freeride.

The area runs from 1,012 m to 2,036 m and is served by 27 lifts, including 4 gondolas and 8 chairlifts. The longest descent measures 5,754 m and the biggest vertical on a single run is 887 m. There are also 5 km of cross-country trails.
