Werfenweng
About the area
Werfenweng is a small area in SalzburgerLand: about 21 km of piste, of which 12 km (56%) are green or blue and only 1 km (3%) is black. Five short easy runs sit right next to a lift base, which makes learning straightforward, though the choice stays limited once you progress. Intermediates get around 8 km of red terrain. Experts will find little here — the black share is minimal and the longest single descent gives 431 m of vertical.
Nine lifts serve the mountain, including two gondolas and two chairlifts; the gondolas help with small children, who do not have to load a moving chair. Skiing runs between 897 m and 1827 m, so the lower slopes depend on cold spells. The longest run measures 2659 m. Around 1 km of piste is floodlit for evening skiing.
