Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Dachstein West – Gosau/Russbach/Annaberg
The Dachstein West ski area offers predominantly intermediate slopes. There are easy slopes at the practice lifts in the valley and also partly within the ski area. On the Zwieselalm, Riedlkopf, and Edtalm, you will also find difficult slopes. The slopes are generally quite wide and well integrated into the landscape. Forest trails lead to the valley stations in Gosau and Russbach, while you can carve your way down to Annaberg across wide alpine meadows.
With the 44 km long "Dachstein Tour" ski circuit, you are guaranteed panoramic skiing at its finest. The ski area is nestled between the Dachstein Glacier, Gosaukamm, and Tennengebirge. Throughout the entire ski area, you will find piste highlights and snow parks for both young and old.
