Skiing on the Schneeberg: A ski resort for beginners and freeriders
Can you ski on the Schneeberg? Absolutely – but a skiing holiday around the Schneeberg is not for average skiers. Here in Puchberg, a ski resort of contrasts awaits you: while the Wunderwiese offers perfect conditions for children's ski lessons and beginners, the terrain around the Schneeberg chairlift is a real Eldorado for freeriders and deep snow artists. Right on the doorstep of the Schneeberghof, winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy a wide range of activities: from the ultimate hotspot for ski tourers to family-friendly slopes for young and old alike.
Where once there were groomed slopes, professionals now find challenging, open terrain. From the mountain station, freeriders make their way down two ungroomed ski routes into the valley, while ski tourers start their ascent to the summit here. If you are looking for wonderful slopes and romantic winter landscapes for your holiday in Lower Austria, the Hotel Schneeberghof in Puchberg is the right place for you.
Schneeberg chairlift
The Schneeberg chairlift takes you from 870 to 1,210 metres above sea level in just a few minutes. The four-seater chairlift is the fastest and most comfortable connection from the valley up to the Fadensattel. This is the ideal starting point for countless panoramic hikes up and around the 2,076 metre-high Schneeberg, the highest mountain in Lower Austria.
In winter, freeride fans are lured up the mountain by unspoilt slopes. Guests can carve through the deep snow and make their way down into the valley as they please. The slopes are not groomed or secured!
Ski school Groß
Peter Groß's ski and mountaineering school offers something for everyone. From private ski and snowboard lessons to guided ski tours, guided hikes or climbing lessons.
