Wildkogel Arena

Your favorite ski destination!

Excellent skiing and tobogganing for beginners and families

The Wildkogel Arena is a small ski resort in the Salzburger Land between Neukirchen am Großvenediger and Bramberg am Wildkogel, which is characterized by smooth runs and short distances. Both places are located in the high valley of the Salzach, between 800 and 900 metres above sea level. The actual ski area can be reached from both villages; it reaches up to 2,150 meters above sea level, the highest point of the lift. In total, there are 75 kilometres of mostly snow-covered slopes available, almost half of which are blue, ie. beginner. For the 17/18 season, a state-of-the-art gondola lift opened the Ganzeralpe and with it, 15 hectares of slopes for free-riders. The absolute highlight on the Wildkogel is Europe's longest illuminated toboggan run.

About Wildkogel Arena

Here, in the middle of the Kitzbühel Alps, it is quiet and comfortable. The breathtaking panorama of the Hohe Tauern with the highest peaks in Austria is remarkable, the leisure activities are varied and the hospitality in Pinzgau is legendary. The orientation to the south gives winter sports enthusiasts hours of sunshine, even in winter. Because large slopes are set up between Großvenediger and Wildkogel, you and your family have plenty of space for practising and learning safely. Even returnees get their money's worth here. For advanced skiers, there are also red and even some black slopes. And if that's not enough, the top ski area of Zillertal Arena and the Kitzbühel ski area, which are just a short distance away, await you for an additional 300 kilometres of slopes. You can take advantage of flexible offers that give you access to all the Zillertal Arena slopes, even for just half a day!

Each season, fans of the Wildkogel Arena are enthusiastic about its unique versatility, not only in terms of skis but other winter sports too. Six deep snow slopes provide more experienced alpinists with a unique adventure feeling. Snowboarders and cross-country skiers will also find many opportunities here. For toboggan fans, the Wildkogel Arena is a must. Here, you will find the longest illuminated toboggan run in Europe, which runs for a total of 45 minutes at a time. All in all, you will be sledging for 14 kilometres!

If you travel with family, you’ll be pleased to know that the Wildkogel Arena also offers children's ski schools. Sleigh rides with the horse through the snowy landscape, a fun park, snowshoeing, expeditions and feeding of wild animals complete the adventure for the young guests. In the evenings, adults can enjoy different slopes, huts, bars and inns. Local culture is also offered, such as a visit to the show mine, which specializes in crystals and gems.

The Wildkogelbahn (from Neukirchen) and the Smaragdbahn (from Bramberg) bring you to an altitude of about 2300 metres.

Even more toboggan runs are available for use at the Stockenbaum toboggan run, with a length of 4.2km and the somewhat shorter Kühnreit toboggan run.

Après-Ski

Of course, there is a life after skiing and that has a special culinary impact in Pinzgau. Here, one is very proud of the local cuisine and the hospitality cultivated for centuries. At the same time, you can enjoy a happy get-together where you’ll find opportunities to celebrate at practically all mountain, middle and valley stations. Whether in the middle of the mountain pasture or comfortably in the village, the atmosphere leaves nothing to be desired.
 

Even More Winter Fun

Ice skating, curling, horseback riding and horse-drawn sleigh rides—it’s not just fun for the children, but for the whole family. If you want more, you can even try winter paragliding! There’s no shortage of local culture to discover either. The upper Salzachtal was formerly a mining area for gems and coveted rock crystals. If you want to know more and be amazed, you can have a look at the history of the precious stones in the museum and in the mine.
