Ski area Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei
The "SkiHit" lift pass gives you the opportunity to get to know seven ski areas: Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei, St. Jakob im Defereggental - Brunnalm, Zettersfeld - Lienz, Sillian - Thurntaler, Obertilliach - Golzentipp as well as the Mölltal Glacier and Ankogel - Mallnitz areas in Carinthia. A total of 168 kilometres of pistes of all levels of difficulty make skiers' and boarders' hearts beat faster.
The Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei was created by merging the ski areas of Matrei and Kals and is considered the largest ski area in East Tyrol with an altitude of 933 to 2,426 metres, 40 kilometres of piste and 12 lift systems.
The ski area offers numerous descents for beginners and advanced winter sports enthusiasts. The Goldried gondola lift provides direct access to the ski area, while the Cimaross 6-seater chair lift takes you to the highest point of the ski area. There is a children's ski park with conveyor belt and igloo at the top station of the Goldfried cable car. Various fun elements such as boxes and wave runs are scattered throughout the ski area, but there is no classic-style snowpark with jumps.
Thanks to its altitude and modern snow-making facilities, the area is considered to be particularly reliable in terms of snow. One of the longest descent is the "Goldried" valley run, which is around 11 kilometres long. Challenging black pistes can be found on the Cimaross in the direction of Matrei and from the Blauspitze to Kals.
For freestylers, the Brunnalm ski area in St. Jakob im Defereggental offers a creative range of obstacles and lines with the "defRaggn Snowpark".

Après ski Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei
The wide range of restaurants, umbrella bars and pubs in the ski area not only offers winter sports enthusiasts plenty to satisfy their hunger, but also a variety of entertainment. The popular sun terrace of the "Bergrestaurant Glocknerblick" at 1,970 metres above sea level on the Cimaross promises a fantastic panoramic view. The "Adlerlounge", located at an altitude of over 2,600 metres, also offers a truly impressive panoramic view. We also recommend a visit to the "Muh-Bar" of the Hotel Goldried at the chair lift valley station of the Goldriedbahn.
Guided snowshoe hikes with wildlife watching in the Hohe Tauern National Park are an unforgettable experience. Tobogganing, for example on the floodlit natural toboggan run with a 2.1 km long track, rounds off the leisure activities perfectly. For horse fans, a ride in the powder snow through the snow-covered winter landscape is the perfect way to unwind. You can also try your hand at ice climbing on 50 routes.
