Matrei Kals

Since 2009, the ski areas of Matrei and Kals have been linked and now offer over 100km of high level skiing. This fabulous resort is set in the heart of the Höhe Tauern National Park, and in the shadow of the Grossglockner, Austria’s highest peak. From here is possible to see 60 peaks above 3000m, giving the impression that you’re on top of the world! The resort of Matrei is attractive and unspoilt and offers a good range of amenities. However, the larger town of Lienz, only a short coach ride away, is a popular destination for evening entertainments.

ON THE SLOPES
Access to the slopes is by the efficient and speedy Goldried gondola whose valley station is a short walk from the hotel. Arriving at the top station, the whole ski area unfolds with a great choice of open blue and red runs. Beginners can immediately access the nursery slopes whilst a fun park is on hand for snowboarders. More confident skiers may wish to tackle the 12km home run from the Cimaross top station. This area is a great choice for early and late season skiing.
