Upper Austria Ski Resorts Austria

The Austrian state of Upper Austria (a.k.a. Oberösterreich) has a handful of ski resorts that are worthy of exploration. All located in the south of the state along the line of high peaks that border with Styria (Steiermark) & to a lesser extent Salzburgerland, the skiing holds a few surprises for its diversity. Classic piste resorts, long ski safari style resorts, extreme freeride ski areas and everyhting in between. Most a little now outside Austria, but that's a good thing right?

The Ski resorts of interest to powder hounds include the freeride mecca of Krippenstein, perhaps the state's best all-round ski area Hinterstoder plus its neighbour Wurzeralm, the cross-border Dachstein West and the lesser known Feuerkogel-Ebensee and Kasberg. All other ski areas in the state are too low elevation to be reiable in any way for ski travellers.

Information about ski resorts in Upper Austria state is coming soon.

Review & More Info

The Powderhounds have previously skied at Krippenstein in Upper Austria, but we are yet to get to any other ski resorts in the state. Exploration & storm-chasing are the keys to skiing this region, so we are always on the lookout for the right conditions.
