Katschberg – Rennweg – Sunnier and Snowier Austria Ski Holidays
The Lungau ski area houses the Katschberg-Aineck-Rennweg (part of Carinthia) ski area. Though the area has an abundance of snowy slopes to offer both skiers and boarders, the inclusive ski pass gives access to Fanningberg and Brobeck Speiereck, where snow is guaranteed. The skies are always sunny and slopes are always covered in a fine dusting of powdery snow. If not, Katschberg - Reenweg can cover near all its slopes with machine-made flakes. The slopes around the 2000-meter mark (the highest is 2200 meters) generally get pounded, while the areas toward 1640 meters (the lowest point) do sometimes need snowmaking assistance. There are 30 ski runs unfurled over 66 km of pistes. The longest slope travels for 6 km, a drop of about 550 vertical meters. The slope breakdown for beginners, intermediate and experts is 6 blues, 18 reds and 6 blacks. Intermediate skiers will have the most slope selection, with intermediate Katschberg skiing offering up nearly four times the kilometers of skiing when compared to the blue and black runs. The cost of skiing and snowboarding (half pipe, fun park and jumps amok) varies with the low, mid, and high season. Most anytime, however, skiers will pay 150 Euros to 200 Euros as an adult.
Katschberg - Rennweg Accommodation:
Three and four star hotels dot Katschberg, as visitors keep coming more and more every year. The prices are similar to French resorts, though discounts start occurring later in the ski season. Alpine chalets and apartments make some of the most financial sense, as many are only a doorstep away from the lifts.
