Zauchensee Big On Spring Great Spring Skiing Experiences
The days in the snow in Zauchensee have never been as varied as this spring and this is not the only reason why sporty skiers appreciate the qualities of the World Cup ski area.
Spring days on the slopes in Zauchensee are a real treat, because the conditions are ideal. The days are getting longer, the spring sun pampers you with pleasant temperatures and mild freshness, and the frozen snow allows for enjoyable skiing on the perfectly groomed slopes. Skiing is the focus in this snow-sure ski area, known for its long tradition of World Cup races, with altitudes of up to 2,000 meters, 45 kilometers of slopes and 15 modern lifts, but an absolute highlight is the legendary World Cup slope on the Gamskogel. The numerous variants, including the famous East on the Gamskogel, are very popular with freeriders, and the younger generation can enjoy easy practice lifts with conveyor belts and platter lifts, as well as magic carpets and an adventure course in Zauchi's children's land. For kids who prefer even more variety, there are jumps, rainbows and obstacles on the Rosskopf, and parents are happy about that too, because they can relax in the meantime, make themselves comfortable on the sun terraces of the ski huts and combine enjoyable runs as they please.
This winter, Zauchensee is offering a new culinary experience that will delight young and old.
