SENSATIONS

Simply relax and unwind. Cosy up in the Hollywood swing on the Kieserl and enjoy the snow-covered mountain world without thinking about anything. 

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.

In a few minutes only, the Hauser Kaibling ski lifts take you to the highest point of Schladming's four interlinked mountains at 2,015 metres. Once at the top, you can enjoy gorgeous panoramic views across the Ennstal valley and the Dachstein mountains. Take some fun pictures with the pink sheep that awaits you on top!

The name of the region can be found in large letters as a wooden construction on the Schlossalmbahn in Bad Hofgastein. The approx. 3-meter lettering not only serves as an eye-catcher and photo motif, but also as a seat on the mountain. In addition to the magnificent view, you can also capture your mountain experience without taking a "selfie". 

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.

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. 

Anyone who has reached the summit of the Stubnerkogel should definitely not miss the viewpoint. Because from here you have a magnificent view of the surrounding snow-covered mountains and the Großglockner (3.798 m), one of Austria's landmarks, even in winter.

The Fulseck, the ski mountain for the Dorfgastein - Grossarltal ski circuit, is so ideally situated that from the summit area you can see the highest mountains in the country from the Großglockner in the south-west to the Hochkönig in the north and the Hohe Dachstein in the north-east from one location. Right here, not far from the summit station of the Gipfelbahn - Fulseck cable car, we have built the ‘Dachsteinblick’ viewing platform on the foundations of the old T-bar lift. In this way, a magnificent panoramic hotspot has been realised with minimal intervention in nature. The best thing about it: the railing is made of shatterproof glass so that even the ski minis can admire the view.
