Ski Area Prägraten
With the lift pass „Ski Hit Osttirol-Kärnten”, you can use 371 kilometres of piste in the eight ski areas Großglockner Resort, Brunnalm/Defereggental, Sillian/Hochpustertal, Kartitsch, Lienz, Obertilliach, Mölltaler Glacier as well as Ankogel (see ski region). With the connection of Matrei and Kals’ ski areas, the new Großglockner Resort (920 - 2,430 m) was created, with 110 kilometres of piste and 18 lifts. Countless diverse runs for beginners and ambitious skiers invite you to let loose. The gondola Goldried starts at Matrei and runs directly to the piste and the 6 person chairlift, Cimaross, takes you up to 2,621 m. Located at the mountain station is a children’s ski park with nursery conveyor belt and igloo. Snowboarders can go wild in the fun park, with slides and jumps! Mother Nature along with a bit of help (snow cannons) make this ski area one of the most snow sure in the Alps. Those who have enough stamina should undoubtedly test the 11 km long valley run “Goldried” into Matrei. Pros will find challenging, black runs at Cimaross towards Matrei, as well as on the Blauspitze to Kals.
