Description

Stretching out across the Austrian states of Salzburg and Upper Austria are the stunning Salzkammergut Mountains.

The sunny slopes here offer incredible room for skiing exploration. Dramatic alpine scenery, with steep mountains and subalpine lakes forming the region.

We’ll focus on the rugged backcountry that surrounds Gosau, a small town sat on rich green pastures, once fixed towards timer and salt production.

Fragrant forests carpet the slopes with scattered crystal-clear mountain lakes. This was once the royal retreat for the Habsburg monarchy, now it’s premium wilderness for all.

Our area of exploration may be the Gosaukamm mountain range or the Osterhorn mountain group. We’ll assess the weather conditions and follow where the best snow lies.

During our days of ski touring we’ll plan for an altitude range of 1,000 meters above sea level.

Reach summits including Seekarwand (1,664 meters) and the Gamsfeld, which at 2,027 meters is the highest peak among the Osterhorn group.

Then discover incredible descents down fast and winding routes flanked by some of the most serene scenery in the Alps.
