SENSATIONS

As you know, you have a fantastic view of the mountains of Schladming-Dachstein everywhere on the Planai – even from the toilet. At the Sky Toilets at the Märchenwiesenbahn you can enjoy a great view – depending on the season – over lush green mountain meadows or perfectly groomed ski slopes.

"Speed out, enjoyment in!" At the highest point of the Fageralm, the "Goliath Genuss-Oase" with giant swing and giant lounger invites you to linger in pleasure. The magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding mountains are unique.  

With the elevator "World Cup Express", which is located directly next to the top station of the Schwarzwandbahn, you go up to the Gamskogel. Here is not only the start of the spectacular World Cup slope, but also a fabulously beautiful vantage point. The highest excursion point in the "Salzburger Sportwelt", which can be reached by lift, is thanks to the World Cup final in 2002, when the downhill course was extended to include the steep starting slope on the Gamskogel. The World Cup Express is usually open in fair weather during the main season (except during race preparation and World Cup races).

A 360° panoramic view from the Hochkönig to the Hohe Tauern, plus a box seat with a striking wooden throne. The perfect conditions for a breathtaking souvenir photo.

At 1,980 m above sea level, at the foot of the Grießenkareck, is the highest vantage point of Snow Space Salzburg. The view of the Hohe and Niedere Tauern mountains that opens up here is particularly impressive. Make the most of this moment before you happily continue down the slopes.

Mikaela Shiffrin, Petra Vlhova, Marlies Raich, Frida Hansdotter, Veronika VelezZuzulová, Maria Höfl-Riesch. These are the names of the skiers who skied to victory on the Hermann Maier FIS World Cup course and were thus crowned Snow Space Salzburg Princesses. 

Would you like to follow in the tracks of these and other famous and great ski stars? Do you want to ski down the same course and experience the same feeling? Then you've come to the right slope at the Hermann Maier FIS World Cup course in Flachau. 

In 2003, the slope was renamed the "Hermann Maier FIS World Cup Course". And for good reason, after all, the multiple ski world champion and Olympic champion is a true Flachau native. In the middle of the skiing area Snow Space Salzburg, part of Austria's greatest skiing Ski amadé, tangible racing fever awaits you on a course length of more than 600 metres.

In 2021 and 2022, the men's World Cup squad also visited Snow Space Salzburg. Atle Lie McGrath (2022) and Manuel Feller (2021) can also count themselves among the winners on the Hermann Maier World Cup course since then. 

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... go... Experience the feeling of standing at the starting gate. The Hermann Maier World Cup starting gate is a must-visit and is a photo point on your way through Snow Space Salzburg.

On a small hill in the Aberg ski area in Maria Alm, a panoramic box seat with wooden thrones promises unforgettable souvenir photos and videos.

The Radstadt/Altenmarkt ski area is an insider tip for skiers and toboggan fans in Ski amadé. On the small but very fine ski mountain, all 4 main lifts come together on the "Kemahdhöhe", the central point of the ski area.

Up here, in addition to the start of the 6km long Königslehen toboggan run and the popular photo motif mascot "Kinigl", there is also a sacred place with the Holy Family made of "Sölker marble" and a summit cross made of old lift parts. This place invites you to linger and relax with a magnificent view.
