With the lift pass "Hinterstoder/Wurzeralm" you will gain access to 62 km of pistes in both of the enticing ski areas of the Pyhrn-Priel region.
The local ski area of Hinterstoder is called "Hinterstoder Höss" and located at the mountain Hutterer Höss (1,858 m). Here you will find 40 km of well-prepared pistes and 14 lifts that serve all needs. Over 260 snow-making facilities ensure good snow conditions and cover up to 90% of the pistes. A 6-person gondola takes you from the valley at Hinterstoder to the sunny plateau "Hutterer Böden", which is situated at an altitude of approx. 1,300 m. With the 6-person Höss-Express you can go up to mainly medium difficulty panorama runs. The highest point of the ski area lies at the Schafkogel (2,000 m). Up here you will only find blue pistes, further down also some red ones. The "Sunny's Kidspark" is an ideal practice area for ski rookies and toddlers are cared for at the "Zwergennest" located near the middle station. One of the highlights is the "Hannes-Trinkl" World Cup run, which leads all the way down to the valley. In February 2016 the FIS Ski World Cup for men in the disciplines Super-G and Giant Slalom was held on the Trinkl piste. The speed measurement run and a SnowTrail adventure run offer a special skiing experience. Snowboarders can go wild in the fun park and freeriders will also find a challenging ski route.
