Things To Do

Wagrain

Wagrain lies 850 metres above sea level at the heart of the Salzburg Mountains, where the beauty of the landscape and the charm of the village create the perfect holiday destination.

Wagrain in Winter

With 860km of outstandingly prepared slopes and 270 modern lifts, Wagrain will make every skier and snow boarders' dream come true. Forests flank some of the worlds most glorious ski runs and 220km of groomed trails are sure to set every cross country skiers pulses racing. The ski lift system, mostly with six and eight man high-speed chairlifts, has weather protection canopies, leather seats (some of which are heated) and creates an unrivalled ski experience together with minimal queues. The resort is complemented by state of the art snow making equipment to most major runs, and floodlight skiing in the resort of Flachau guaranteeing snow and long days of skiing. Further up the valley, a 5 minute journey from the Graffenberg lift, lies Kleinarl, connecting to Zauchensee by modern lifts over two mountain ranges. Between Kleinarl and Zauchensee lies a winter sport park and half pipe for snowboarders.
If you are keen to learn the basics of skiing then the Wagrain Ski School is the ideal place to start, and the Wagrain Kids' Ski World offers kids lifts, a tubing hill and lots of space for those first moments on skis. The Kids Ski World also has a warm up hut; parties and barbecues take place daily. Wagrain also has the Amadé Water Worlds all weather pool with counter current sun-bathing bay, whirlpool, mother-child area, wild water canal and two sensational giant water slides.

For non-skiers there are winter hiking paths, horse drawn carriages and a fabulous selection of après ski venues - quite literally something for everyone.
