St. Wolfgang
Right in the heart of the Austrian Lake District, St. Wolfgang provides a beautiful setting for a 'Learn to Ski’ or 'Winter Paradise' holiday. The Postalm alpine plateau, reached by a spectacular ski bus ride (35 mins) through gorges and around hair-pin bends, has an excellent snow record. Alternatively, ski buses also enable you to explore the ski area of Gosau (1 hour). St.Wolfgang has lots to offer other than skiing (see our 'Winter Paradise’ package) making it an ideal choice for groups of skiers and non-skiers - and if you choose to travel on the 17/12 you can enjoy the delights of "Advent in St. Wolfgang" and nearby Salzburg's Christmas Market.
Beginners
St. Wolfgang is a beginner's paradise. The Postalm has an extensive range of easy slopes on which to gain confidence (lessons may also be taken on the Puchberg nursery slopes just outside St. Wolfgang - conditions permitting). Complete novices will enjoy learning with our special 'Learn to Ski’ package.
Intermediates
The Postalm is ideal for improving your skiing technique in very picturesque surroundings. If you fancy a bit of adventure, a trip to Gosau later in the week will be a day to remember!
Advanced
Skiing for experts is limited on the Postalm. However, there are some great runs to tackle in Gosau, with 65kms of pistes.
Snowboarding
The gentle terrain at Postalm provides a perfect introduction to snowboarding. Those looking for a greater challenge should head for Gossau, where there is a park and pipe to play in!
