Alta Pusteria with its resorts Sillian, Kartitsch and Obertillian, as well as the Lienz Dolomites' two ski areas, distinguish themselves due to their easy and intermediate pistes. For this reason it is great for beginners and families.
When the Matrei and Kals ski areas were connected, the Großglockner Resort was created and with 37 kilometres of piste (according to the new measurements regulations) and almost 5 km of ski route is the largest ski region in East Tyrol. Next to relaxing runs to savour, there are also challenging black pistes for advanced skiers, such as from the Cimaross (2,621 m) or the Blauspitze (2,575 m).
Splendid deep powder snow and off-piste areas can be found all around the Brunnalm, the Lienzer Dolomites as well as Alta Pusteria. The Mölltaler Glacier and Ankogel offer an especially snow-sure terrain and awesome snow park for boarders and freestylers.
