Why choose Hinterstoder Wurzeralm ?

A popular skiing destination since the beginning of the 20th century, Hinterstoder Wurzeralm continues to hold onto its excellent snow record and now plays host to World Cup ski races. There’s even a new World Cup run on the Hinterstoder, which is named after the downhill world champion, Hannes Trinkl, while Wurzeralm lays claim to the fastest funicular railway in Europe.

Groups on a school ski trip to Hinterstoder Wurzeralm stay in Spital am Pyhrn, conveniently located between the Wurzeralm and Hinterstoder. Set in the heart of Upper Austria, the small town is defined by its beautiful cathedral and encircled by mountains. Just minutes from the motorway, it is the regional centre. Spital offers a range of good amenities for groups and excellent transport links to both the Wurzeralm and Hinterstoder ski areas.

On the piste

A popular destination with school groups from Austria, Hinterstoder Wurzeralm is still a hidden gem of the British market. Thanks to super-efficient lift systems, our groups are always amazed by the minimal queues here.

Most groups start on the Wurzeralm, giving beginners a gentle launch pad from which to progress to a range of perfectly pisted, tree-lined blues and reds. Those with a bit more experience and confidence will enjoy the steeper skiing and a bit more of a challenge on the Hinterstoder, while the snow park at Fun & Action Hill (300 metres long) is a paradise for snowboarders.
