Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Dachstein West – Gosau/Russbach/Annaberg
The Dachstein West ski resort offers mainly intermediate slopes. There are easy slopes at the practice lifts in the valley and in some places up in the ski resort. Difficult slopes can 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 to Annaberg lead over expansive mountain meadows.
The 44-kilometre-long “Dachstein Tour” circuit guarantees ultimate panoramic skiing. The ski resort is situated between the Dachstein Glacier, the Gosaukamm and the Tennen Mountains. Piste highlights and snow parks for all ages are located throughout the entire resort.
