Ski area Salzburger Sportwelt
In the Salzburger Sportwelt alone there are 250 km of piste and 97 lifts available, between 619 - 2,188 m altitude. The vast ski area unions Kleinarl/Flachauwinkl/Zauchensee and Flachau/Wagrain/St. Johann are the top destinations of the larger union and mostly known by events such as the Alpine Ski World Cup and Flachau. Families, beginners and cross-country skiers will find good terrain in all areas, whilst the more experienced riders will rather venture over to Zauchensee. Boarders can enjoy themselves in various fun parks, e.g. the "Absolut Park" in Flachauwinkl, or the "Snowpark Alpendorf" in St. Johann Alpendorf.
If you want to share you holiday experience with your friends and family at home, that is no problem at all here. In total there are approx. 400 Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the area of "Ski amadé". Easy and free Internet access can be enjoyed at the fun parks, lift stations and huts, so you can post your photos and updates to your loved once in next to no time. Within the Alpine region this is the largest offer of Wi-Fi hotspot within a lift union.

An excursion to the "Wasserwelt Wagrain" in Wagrain is also recommendable: besides some great fun in the swimming pools, there is also a large sauna complex available.

Snowpark: Snowpark Betterpark Alpendorf St. Johann im Pongau
In midst of the huge ski area union "Ski amadé", besides the many slopes and pistes, there is another attraction which deserves your full attention: freestyle! In the ski area Sankt Johann-Alpendorf, the park designer Wille Kaufmann has created a real fun-park-paradise with the "Bretterpark Alpendorf". With a total length of about 1km this area alongside the Panorama lift invites all freestylers to try some jumps and test themselves on boxes and rails.
The jib area, as well as the kicker line are divided into easy, medium and pro lines and the diversity of obstacles hardly leaves any wishes unfulfilled. A professional shaper team has dedicated themselves to ensuring ideal conditions in this park and maintains the obstacles to their best ability. On Wednesdays there is always a lot going on in the park with regards to maintaining and re-shaping. Therefore the park closes down at 14:00 already.
Further to the snow park, you can also find a fun slope in the ski area Zauchensee, that offers the whole family lots of fun, with its different waves, steep curves, small jumps and other attractions.
For all those who prefer to watch, or just enjoy the sun in front of a magnificent backdrop, there are deckchairs available, which designate the more sociable part of the park.
