Ski area 4-Berge-Skischaukel
With the "Ski amadé" lift pass, you have access to an incredible 760 km of pistes and 270 lifts in Austria's largest ski area (see ski region)!
The 4-mountain ski area Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm is one of the main attractions in the Dachstein West region. It offers the largest selection of pistes and lifts and each of the four mountains is an attractive ski area in its own right. A total of 123 kilometres of pistes and 50 lifts are available here.
With its mogul pistes, powder slopes and the piste from the Kaiblingalm area over to the Planai, the Hauser Kaibling is particularly popular with ski cracks. But families and less experienced skiers will also find the best conditions in the upper part of the Hauser Kaibling, at the middle station and the Kaiblingalm. From the 24/25 season, the brand new "Kaiblinggrat" 8-seater chairlift also awaits you. As the most powerful chairlift in Styria, this modern lift replaces the "Quattralpina" chairlift, which has been in operation since 1992, and takes you up to 1,868 metres in less than 5 minutes. Look forward to an even more comfortable and faster skiing experience!
In addition to wonderfully wide pistes, the Hochwurzen also has the longest piste in the ski area: the Hochwurzen-Schladming valley run covers a difference in altitude of 1,100 metres over a length of 7.7 km.
Experienced skiers will get their money's worth on the 5.5 km long FIS course on the Planai. Another FIS course can be found on Hauser Kaibling, which covers a difference in altitude of 1,100 metres over a length of 7 km. The 2 downhill runs are also definitely worth mentioning here.

Night skiing Haus im Ennstal
If you still haven't had enough in the evening, you can regularly take part in night skiing in Pichl, just 15 km away. In the Hochwurzen ski area, you will find piste 33, a floodlit valley run that is around 3 km long. It is also possible to stop off at the huts on the piste until late at night. However, if you want to ski at night, you will need to buy an evening ticket, as night skiing is not included in the lift pass. However, holders of a valid lift pass for Planai & Hochwurzen receive a 20 per cent discount on the evening ticket. If you prefer to start the night on runners, you should definitely pay a visit to the night toboggan run on the Rittisberg.Après ski Haus im Ennstal
