In the winter wonderland between Gosau, Russbach, Zwieselalm, Annaberg, Lungötz, St.Martin, Obertraun, Abtenau, Postalm and Bad Ischl, there is fun for families, beginners through to the most experienced skier. These resorts all make up the Dachstein West Ski region.
The main area between Gosau, Russbach and Annaberg is a perfect family ski area in the heart of Austria. It has a network of 45 lifts and cable cars as well as 140 snow assured kilometres of descents passing through some of the world’s most beautiful scenery. With its wide pistes, excellent ski schools and its easy accessibility it is easy to see why it has long been a favourite ski area of the Austrians.

The Krippenstein - Obertraun
For more information on the Krippenstein see free riding and ski touring.

Although the Krippenstein is a world renowned area for free riding, it does now have a newly opened beginners slope at the base of the mountain. You shouldn’t be put off skiing here as it has some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere in this area. At the top of the mountain there is a 3 km blue run and the 11 km descent is the longest in Austria. The view from the cable car is worth the trip alone!

Russbach – kids Ski school & day care facilities
This is where Russbach shows its child-friendly side. Then new Bear Camp and Sparrow's Nest children's Club offer great attractions as well as free practice ski lifts and fun and games in the snow!

All snow bears meet in the Bear Camp. The practice lifts, fun figures, and conveyor belt are all centrally situated in the valley area. No long journey times or lifts separate the kids from their first attempts on their skis. The lifts are free for all children under the age of 6 years. A very friendly team of qualified ski instructors ensure quick success for your children’s first attempts at skiing.
The Sparrow's Nest (from 1 year) celebrates its 5th birthday this year and has moved next to the Bear Camp!

As not all young children want to spend all day on the slopes children aged 3-5 years can transfer to the cosy indoor life of the Rußbach "Sparrow's Nest". Here the youngsters can have something to eat and drink and of course there are lots of toys to keep them happy. Trained teaching staff ensures fun and games for the children.

This means that you can be happy knowing that your children are being well cared for, whether skiing or playing, allowing you to enjoy your days skiing.
