Short description of Rauris

Rauris is a charming village in the Salzburg region (Pinzgau) and is often considered an insider tip: it offers all the ingredients for a complete winter holiday, but without the crowds. The village lies in a wide valley with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

The Rauriser Hochalmbahnen ski area is compact yet surprisingly varied, featuring wide, well-groomed slopes as well as 5 km of ski routes for those looking for a bit more adventure. Thanks to its altitude (up to 2,175 m) and favourable location, snow conditions are often good for a long season.

There is also plenty to do off the slopes: a 2 km toboggan run (Kreuzboden), snowshoe hikes and winter walking trails, including routes towards Kolm Saigurn, one of the most beautiful ends of the valley.
