Hinterstoder
About the area
Hinterstoder in Upper Austria has about 35 km of pistes, split fairly evenly between easy and intermediate: 15 km are green or blue (43%) and 16 km red, with only 4 km of black or freeride terrain (12%). That makes it a solid choice for beginners and families rather than for experts, who will run out of steep quickly — the longest single vertical drop is 664 m. Seven magic carpets cover first steps, and 14 short easy runs sit right next to a lift base, so children can repeat the same slope without long traverses.
Nineteen lifts serve the area, including two gondolas, which means small children can be loaded without a chairlift. Skiing starts at 588 m and tops out at 1,986 m, a total span of 1,398 m; the longest run measures 3,287 m. There are also 18 km of cross-country trails and 1 km of floodlit piste.
