Ski Area Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei
With the "Ski Hit Osttirol-Kärnten" lift pass, you can ski the 347 kilometres of piste in the following eight ski areas to your heart's content: Großglockner Resort, Brunnalm/Defereggental, Sillian/Hochpustertal, Kartitsch, Lienz, Obertilliach, Mölltaler Gletscher and Ankogel (see ski region).
East Tyrol's largest ski area has been created by connecting the Matrei and Kals ski areas, the new Großglockner Resort (920 - 2,430 m), with 110 kilometres of piste and 18 lifts. Numerous varied runs for beginners and ambitious skiers invite you on seemingly unlimited, snow-sure ski fun. The Goldried cable car starts from Matrei and runs directly into the ski area, and the new 6-person Cimaross chair lift brings winter sports fans up to 2,621 m. A children's ski park with conveyor belt and igloos is found directly at the mountain station. Snowboarders can really rip it up in the fun park with slides and jumps! Natural conditions and strong snow-making systems make the ski area one of the most snow-sure in the Alps. Those with great endurance should definitely test the 11 km long "Goldried" valley run to Matrei. Cracks will find challenging black valley runs at Cimaross in the direction of Matrei, as well as from the Blauspitze to Kals.
