About the area

Ski amadé is a network of linked ski areas and towns in SalzburgerLand, and the piste map is broad rather than steep: 613.27 km in total, with 298.29 km blue and 272.33 km red, so intermediates can keep moving for days without repeating much. For beginners, 49% of pistes are green/blue (300 km), there are 22 magic carpets for first steps and 151 short easy runs next to a lift base — handy with children. Experts are not left out: 35 km black/expert/freeride (6%), 1 km marked freeride and a longest vertical on one run of 1078 m.

The lift network counts 244 installations, including 78 chairlifts and 51 gondolas; 53 gondola/cable-car lifts mean no chairlift loading for small kids. Bases sit as low as 667 m, the highest point is 2642 m, and the longest run measures 7325 m. There are also 188.02 km of cross-country trails and 13.14 km of floodlit piste.
