Tauplitz
About the area
Tauplitz / Bad Mitterndorf has about 34 km of pistes, and 54% of them (19 km) are green or blue, so it reads as a beginner and family mountain. There are two magic carpets for first turns and 23 short easy runs sitting right next to a lift base, which keeps children and nervous starters close to the bottom. Only 2 km, or 4%, is black or freeride terrain, and the biggest vertical on a single run is 398 m, so strong skiers will run out of challenge quickly. The 14 km of red pistes are the main draw for confident intermediates.
The area spans 921 m to 1963 m and is served by 18 lifts: one gondola, four chairlifts, five T-bars, four platters, two rope tows and two magic carpets. The gondola means small children can ride up without loading a chairlift. The longest run measures 3175 m, and there are 17 km of cross-country trails in the valley.
