This weekend we headed about 1 hour and 10 minutes north west of Graz to a quite lesser-known small ski resort called Gaaler Lifte in Gaal, which is near Knittelfeld. They have one long chairlift, a shorter T-bar lift and a covered baby lift aka magic carpet. The slopes were in excellent conditions, just the … More VLOG: Skiing Gaaler Lifte
We spet another weekend on snow. 🙂 This time we drove to Carinthia to Koralpe, a skiregion very near to the Slovenian border. We were here about 10 years ago and have really good memories. But this time the weather wasn’t on our side and the slopes were in quite bad shape. I will not … More VLOG: Skiing on Koralpe, Austria
This weekend we drove to Saualpe in Carinthia to ski on Klippitztörl. It’s about an hour from Graz again and it has 2 chair lifts and 2 T-bar lifts. The slopes were perfectly groomed and just from 10:00-12:00 it was a bit crowded at the lifts, but before and after it was just great.
Slowly but surely we are skiing our way through the Styrian ski resorts. This time we drove to Salzstiegl, another smaller ski resort in the Lavanttaler Alps, about 1 hour west from Graz. Although we had some starting problems and it was suuuupeeeer cold (-150C), we had a great skiing day. They have 4 lifts … More VLOG: Skiing in Salzstiegl, Austria
New weekend, new skiing resot in Austria – this time we tried out Gaberl, which is the Lavanttaler Alps. This ski resort is on 1550 meters above sea level, it has 2 T-bar lifts and 4 or 5 slopes. But be careful – this resort is not suitable for beginners as the slopes are quite … More VLOG: Skiing in Gaberl, Austria
Another ski resort relatively near to Graz (just about 1 hour by car), but with many slopes, great conditions right now and a big children’s ski slope. The most expensive ticket in the last days with 23€ for 3 hours (if you buy it online), but also the most slopes, lifts and unfortunatly also the … More VLOG: Skiing on Weinebene, Austria
We couldn’t celebrate NY’s abroad or in Slovenia, so we went to sleep right after midnight to wake up early to go skiing. Yes, we started 2021 on a ski slope in Styria in Austria, about an hour away from Graz. We had a marvelous sunny day with not too many people. Well, if 2021 … More VLOG: Skiing in Sommeralm, Holzmeisterlifte, Austria
Just an hours north of Graz is Teichalm, a beautiful plateau with a nice lake you can walk around, many cross country slopes and for us the most important: a ski slope (or better said three of them) and 2 T-bar lifts. We were there yesterday, on the last day of 2020 on a sunny … More VLOG: Skiing in Teichalm, Austria
New day, new ski resort 🙂Today we went to Modriachwinkel, which we accidentally discovered last weekend when we were searching for the sun. This is a small ski resort just 40 min drive from Graz with 2 lifts (T-bar) and 3 slopes and a great children slope with a magic carpet. There’s a ski school … More VLOG: Skiing in Modriachwinkel, Austria

In Austria ski resort were allowed to open on the 24th of December, but with restrictions and rules. More on that some other time, because today … More VLOG: Skiing in Obdach, Austria
