About the area

Goldeck is a compact Carinthian area with about 23 km of pistes, and just over half of it — 14 km, or 58% — is green or blue. Three magic carpets handle first turns, and there are seven short easy runs grouped next to a lift base, so beginners can repeat the same terrain without long traverses. Families are well served, partly because the gondola means small children don't have to load a chairlift. Experts get less: 6 km of black and freeride terrain (28%) is not much, even with a 1,226 m vertical on the longest single descent.

Eight lifts serve the mountain — one gondola, two chairlifts, two T-bars and three carpets. The base sits at 545 m and the top at 2,116 m, so the upper slopes hold snow far better than the valley; the longest run measures 4,812 m.
