Ski Region Gosau am Dachstein

Ski region of Gosau am Dachstein.

The wonderfully idyllic town of Gosau is located in Upper Austria's Salzkammergut region and impresses with great views to the spiky Gosau Ridge, its renowned Dachstein Glacier and versatile range of winter sports on offer in the family ski area of Dachstein West. Situated at 700 metres altitude, this pretty town guarantees family-friendly skiing fun and snow-assuredness right through to spring.

The Gosau section of the Dachstein West ski area comprises the Hornspitz, along with Brumsiland and the more demanding Zwieselalm. The Zwieselalm doesn’t just entice boarders and carvers with its spectacular 360 degree views to the Dachstein Glacier, Lake Gosau and the most beautiful peaks from the Feuerkogel to Hochkönig, but is beguiles lots of winter hikers, fans of snow-shoes and those who love sun loungers too. Not least on account of its cosy huts, which offer perfect sun terraces, local specialities and delicacies from regional cuisine!
