Snowpark Karkogel - Abtenau: Dachstein West

Unfortunately, there is no snowpark directly on the Karkogel, but the Dachstein West ski region has a total of four different funparks, so every freestyler will get their money's worth! If you want to jump straight into the fun from Gosau, the "Ötscher Kids Park Gosau", which is located right next to the valley station, is the place to go. With its own lifts, freestylers can explore the park's runs with a wide variety of obstacles in complete safety.

If you're looking for the ultimate kicker, you should definitely check out the "Family Park Dachstein West"! Obstacles such as the six-metre-long wave box and various medium kickers, as well as a jib box and a seventy-metre-long wave run, provide the ultimate adrenaline rush. Does that seem too daring for you? No problem, because beginner elements allow even newcomers to discover weightlessness. Professional shapers guarantee first-class shred sessions. You can also share your new successes via the free Wi-Fi hotspot.

Of course, the "Rookie Park" in Russbach and the "Kids Run" in Annaberg are also worth a visit. They are perfect for beginners.
