Cosy cuddles: Winter in the Viennese Alps

Long walks, wonderful excursions and plenty time for each other: the Viennese Alps invite you for some wintry relaxation.

Fun for children in the snow

Learning to ski does not have to be difficult - and it’s really good fun in the beginner-friendly skiing areas in the Viennese Alps. In the Skiing & Winter Adventure Land in the St. Corona am Wechsel Family Ski Resort, the terrain is ideal and snow is guaranteed. Magic carpets, a platter lift and a new drag lift facilitate your first turns of the day. Tobogganing or the snow fortress also guarantee plenty of fun. Equipment hire and the winter sports school ensure a stress-free family day out on the skis. The Erlebnisalm-Mönichkirchen ski resort has a beautiful practice area with large lifts and blue slopes. 

Challenging skiing on the black slopes

On the challenging FIS World Cup slope, and on the floodlit pistes of the Zauberberg Semmering resort, the skiing action continues late into the night. “Hüttengaudi” (après ski) has its place in this traditional ski area with excellent public transport connections. With its challenging slopes and ultra-modern four-person chairlifts, the Erlebnisalm-Mönichkirchen ski resort offers fun on the slopes for expert skiers.

Tobogganing and snowshoeing

Skis are not absolutely necessary for an eventful wintry excursion in the snow. In the Zauberberg Semmering and Coronas Skiland in St Corona resorts, lifts will help you with the ascent to the start of the toboggan run. Tuck into tasty regional delicacies in one of the huts, before heading downhill on a thrilling toboggan ride.
