Dachstein West

The four resorts of Russbach, Gosau, Zwieselalm and Annaberg all access the 40 lifts and 130kms of ski area which is known collectively as ‘Dachstein West’ and are situated in the heart of Austria. 

The area offers wide, snow-sure pistes with an average snowfall of 5 metres and a fully integrated, comfortable ski lift system which gives easy access to the whole of the ski area.

The friendly, family atmosphere will inspire snowsport enthusiasts from beginners to experts.

Dachstein West is one of Austria's lesser known ski areas – a jewel waiting to be discovered, and offers excellent value for money for skiers and snowboarders.
