Skiing and lots of snow in Hintersee
Spend your ski vacation in Austria
Hintersee is a true ‘Snowhole’. In local dialect this term is used to describe places where the winter is uncommonly intense, long and snowy. The mountain peaks around Hintersee are already covered in snow when elsewhere it is still very much autumn. The snow piles up high at Hintersee in winter – even in the village itself one metre deep snow is no rarity.
Spring also begins slowly in Hintersee; snow can still be found in May on the slopes a few hundred metres up from our village. In short, Hintersee is a paradise for winter sport fans.
The resorts in our region are a real joy for skiers, with lots of real snow and very few snow machines.
Long queues for lifts and overcrowded pistes are unknown in Hintersee, and with runs over 50 km there is something for people of all abilities.
Whether for children, beginners or experienced skiers, winter is a real joy in Gaissau-Hintersee. Gaissau-Hintersee’s moderate prices make it a very popular resort for families. Hintersee is located only 28 km from the city of Salzburg, birthplace of W. A. Mozart, making it the ideal base for a day trip.
The hotel’s own ski bus brings guests to the lift station (located 1km away) daily. Also, guests receive a 15 % discount on lift passes and benefit from special offers at local ski schools.
