About the area
With 86.69 km of piste, Snow Space Salzburg is built around its red runs: 48.06 km of them, which makes it a strong fit for confident intermediates who want to cover distance all day. Beginners have 32.1 km of green and blue, 37% of the network, plus 3 magic carpets for first turns, though the blues sit alongside a lot of red terrain. Experts will run out of options fast — only 5.42 km is black, 6% of the total. Families get 10 gondola and cable-car lifts, so small children can board without a moving chairlift.
The lift system counts 46 installations, including 15 chair lifts, 9 gondolas, 1 cable car and a mix of T-bars, platters and rope tows. Skiing runs between 667 m and 1976 m, so the lower slopes depend on cold spells. The area belongs to Ski amadé, and there is 1.71 km of cross-country track.
