In the Heart of Austria

Each Schneebären Ski Mountain an Insider Tip

But shhh… let’s keep that between the two of us ;)!

With the Schneebären Card, you get to explore five snowy ski resorts in Upper Styria – 128 kilometers of outstanding slopes, freeride areas above the treeline that seem to go on forever, and modern lift facilities ranging from magic carpets to a brand-new 10-passenger panorama gondola. Plus, the pure joy of sledding, winter hiking paths, cross-country ski trails, live music, sunny terraces, and traditional mountain huts.

And all of that with an abundance of natural snow, snowmaking equipment where- and whenever needed, and fair prices.

Our participating Schneebären resorts – with a giant heart for guests and more wintertime fun than you ever imagined possible!
