Wurzenalm Hinterstoder

Wurzenalm Hinterstoder School Ski Tours

Ski Info

  • Between Salzburg and Linz, 15km north of Liezen

This area has been a winter sports destination since the beginning of the twentieth century, thanks to its excellent snow record. Today, it hosts world cup ski races, indeed the new world cup run on the Hinterstoder has been named after the downhill world champion, Hannes Trinkl. Our groups are accommodated in the small town of Spital, conveniently located between the Wurzeralm and Hinterstoder and only minutes from the motorway. It has a good range of amenities and is popular with families from all over Europe. A range of evening entertainments can be arranged including snow show walking and torch lit walks, as well as the more popular bowling, skating and swimming.

ON THE SLOPES
Most groups start on the Wurzenalm from where beginners soon progress from the gently nursery slopes to the well groomed tree-lined blues and reds. Steeper and more challenging skiing is available on the Hinterstoder, whilst snowboarders will certainly enjoy the Snowpark at Fun & Action Hill (300m long). Lift queues tend to be negligible, as many groups remark on how efficiently and swiftly the lift systems operate.  Whilst not so well-known with the British market, this ski area attracts school groups from Austria who appreciate the benefits and excellent value it offers.
