Loser-Altaussee
About the area
Loser-Altaussee in Styria is a compact area: about 21 km of pistes, of which 12 km are blue and 7 km red, with just 1 km rated black — 4% of the terrain. Some 59% of the runs (13 km) are green or blue, and there are seven short easy runs next to a lift base, plus a magic carpet for first turns, so beginners and families are well served. Experts will find little: one kilometre of black terrain and a maximum vertical of 500 m on a single run.
Ten lifts serve the mountain, including a gondola that avoids chairlift loading with small children, two chairlifts, three T-bars and other drag lifts. The skiing runs from 853 m at the base to 1,764 m at the top, so snow is better held high up; the longest descent measures about 4 km.
