Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Dachstein West – Gosau/Russbach/Annaberg
The Dachstein West ski resort offers primarily intermediate slopes. At the practice lifts in the valley and up in the ski resort itself, there are some easy slopes. There are difficult slopes to be found at the Zwieselalm, the Riedlkopf and the Edtalm. The slopes are usually pretty wide and are integrated nicely into the landscape. Forest glades lead down to the base stations in Gosau and Rußbach, while the slopes lead over expansive mountain meadows to Annaberg. "Gaudipisten" (fun slopes) are distributed throughout the ski resort. These are special slopes with wave runs, challenging moguls, race courses and a speed measurement course. Skiing is guaranteed to be fun and exciting on these slopes. The Panorondo Skigenuss Circuit comprises a 44 km long route through the entire ski resort.
