Ski amadé van A tot Z

...have their outstanding charme in it's special location. The Herzwies is located directly at the ski slope in 100 metres above the ski centre "Angertal" – the starting point of two  cable cars and one chair lift.

Ski & Wine Enjoyment Week from 14th to 21st March, 2026

During the skiing and wine tasting week from March 14 to 21, 2026, we offer our guests at the Herzwies some special highlights. 

Schon mal auf 2.600m Seehöhe in einem Raum der ein bisschen Ähnlichkeit mit einem UFO hat gefrühstückt? Nein? Dann wird es höchste Zeit! Jeden Mittwoch gibt es in Sportgastein ein traumhaftes Gipfelfrühstück! Auch für Nicht-Skifahrer!

Action and leisure fun for young and old! The mountain carts take you down the 5,5 km long track from the Laireiteralm to the middle station of the Grossarl cable cars.

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).

What could be more romantic than a ride in a horse-drawn carriage through the magical winter wonderland that is St. Johann? Let your fairy-tale dreams come true! Whisking through fresh snow with warm blanket around your knees, you will be transported to another time and place. Cherish this extraordinary experience – a horse-drawn carriage ride through our scenic valleys.
