Non-stop to the top ski area: This is just in time for the start of winter in Fieberbrunn in the Pillerseetal. The new, Ferrari red ten-seater gondola replaces the iconic group cable cars from 1991 and allows winter sports enthusiasts to remain seated in a relaxed manner without having to change trains. In around ten minutes you can be at the top and start on the 270 kilometers of slopes in the Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn ski circuit (from November 29th, ski pass from 68.50 euros).
In the Pillerseetal, the snowiest region in Tyrol, the conditions for skiing are usually ideal anyway. If you want to take a more leisurely approach, choose the Steinplatte-Waidring-Winklmoosalm ski area (from December 7th, ski pass from 54 euros) or the Buchensteinwand (from mid-December, ski pass from 44 euros).

The “Triassic Funline” offers fun dinosaur stations and lots of variety for the little ones.

22 kilometers of slopes open up the slopes below the Jakobskreuz, which, at a height of 30 m, claims the title of the largest accessible summit cross in the world. The ski area itself is particularly popular with families and beginner skiers. In the “Pletzi Park” the youngsters learn their first turns and never get bored thanks to the ski carousel, pirate ship and several magic carpets. There are also dedicated lift routes for ski tourers.
