Travel details
On the slopes
100% snowmaking coverage across the 147km of skiable pistes means groups on a school ski trip to Oberlungaucan be sure of being welcomed by long, pristine runs, including the 6km ‘A1 run’ to St Margarethen, known to be one of the best in the Alps. Many of our groups start on the nursery slopes at village level in St Michael or Mauterndorf, before moving onto the uncrowded and forgiving slopes of Fanningberg. Great snow on the wide-open red runs of Katschberg attracts intermediates seeking more of a gradient. Advanced skiers will appreciate 27kms of black runs to choose from and with the option of upgrading to the Lungo pass available, groups can enjoy the freedom of exploring both Oberlungau and Obertauern.
