Ski Lifts in Alpbach

The Alpbachtal-Wildschonau Ski Juwel region has a total of 47 ski lifts – 7 gondolas, 8 chairlifts and 32 surface lifts – serving six ski areas; the two most important ski areas being the Wiedersberger Horn at Alpbach and the Schatzberg above Auffach, both now connected by a new high-speed gondola.

Alpbachtal – Wildschonau (“Ski Juwel”) Ski Lifts

The ski area at Alpbach (55km) is served by four high-speed gondolas, , five chairlifts and five T-bar lifts. These include the new gondola connecting the ski area at Alpbach with Auffach in the Wildschonau. Boarders need not be put off by the number of T-bar lifts as most of Alpbach’s T-bars serve low level nursery and training slopes, with the gondolas and chairlifts providing access to the main ski area. Likewise, access to the ski area at Reith is by gondola with three of four T-bars on low lying nursery slopes.  Kramsach is far from the two main ski areas and largely irrelevant.

In the neighbouring Wildschonau valley, most of the ski pistes at Auffach (55km) are served by the main two-stage gondola and two 6-person chairlifts and mainly T-bar lifts serving nursery slopes in the beginners’ area at mid-station. A gondola and chairlift provide uplift from the base station to the upper slopes at Niederau with wide-open nursery slopes at village level served by half a dozen T-bars.
