Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Gerlitzen

The slopes extend around the panoramic mountain Gerlitzen (1,911 m). From the summit, wide slopes lead in all directions, including Carinthia’s widest carving slope at Neugarten. The panoramic view of Carinthia’s mountain and lake landscape, such as Lake Wörthersee and Lake Ossiach, is magnificent. In the upper section, the runs lead over open slopes, further down they pass through wide forest clearings. Slopes of all difficulty levels, ski routes, and several freeride areas are available. Most of the slopes are of intermediate difficulty.
