Be right in the middle of the action, in Flachau

You will find the charming village of Flachau in the middle of the Salzburger Sportwelt ski area, in Austria. There are more than 100 kilometres of diverse slopes to explore in Flachau alone. Thanks to the arrival of the impressive G-Link gondola, you can easily reach resorts such as Wagrain, giving you even more options. The Salzburger Sportwelt ski area has more than 350 kilometres of slopes in total, with an efficient network of ski lifts. The G-Link gondola can accommodate up to 130 people at a time, so you can get to your destination quickly. Choose from numerous red and blue slopes or check out the spectacular black runs for experienced skiers. Be sure to stop at the cosy alpine huts along the way for a delicious lunch or a hot chocolate. Snowboarders take note: you won’t want to miss the internationally popular Absolut Park in Flachauwinkl or the Snowpark in Alpendorf. There are also 40 trails in the Salzburger Sportwelt that offer no less than 260 kilometres for cross-country skiers to discover. Bring your camera, because the wintery surroundings full of pine trees and fresh snow are absolutely stunning.

Flachau is part of the extensive Salzburger Ski Amadé ski area. If you book with Sunweb, your ski pass for the whole area will be included. This enormous ski area consists of 25 ski resorts over five different regions, including the aforementioned Salzburger Sportwelt. Hochkönig, Schladming-Dachstein, Gastein, and Grossarltal are also part of Ski Amadé. In addition to the G-Link gondola to Wagrain, the Panorama Link can get you to Flachauwinkl and Zauchensee. Thanks to the Dachstein glacier and its ideal snow conditions, you can often ski in Ski Amadé far into April. Nonetheless, there are plenty of snow cannons ready to help if needed. Flachau is also known for its welcoming après-ski atmosphere. Will we see you for drinks at the Hofstadl this winter?
