Ski Resorts Hochkar and Ötscher

Active and full of enjoyment: A winter holiday in the Mostviertel Alps.

Hochkar and Ötscher – the perfect ski holiday in Lower Austria. The two largest ski resorts in the Mostviertel region impress with short distances, affordable prices, and unspoiled nature.

Skiing in Lower Austria means winter fun without stress. Those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of large ski areas will find the perfect place in Göstling-Hochkar and Lackenhof-Ötscher. Both destinations (about 20 minutes apart by car) are popular with families and sporty skiers alike, offering great value and easy accessibility. And the best part? Peaceful natural surroundings and stunning panoramic views are included!

Hochkar – the highest ski resort

Hochkar, near the town of Göstling an der Ybbs, is the highest ski resort in Lower Austria – and guarantees plenty of snow. From December to April, ideal conditions prevail here. A variety of slopes make Hochkar the place to be for skiers of all levels. A real highlight is the breathtaking view stretching far across the Mostviertel region to the Alps – and to the nearby Ötscher mountain.

Ötscher – the highest mountain in the Mostviertel

In Lackenhof, authenticity takes center stage – and so does the Ötscher, the highest mountain in the Mostviertel. While carving through the quiet winter landscape, the majestic “father mountain” always remains in sight. On the Great Ötscher, with its steep natural snow slope, experienced skiers will find a challenge, while on the slopes of the Little Ötscher, families and beginners will feel right at home.
