Ski: Obertraun is the home of the Krippenstein Freeride Arena, voted number one in Europe for off piste skiing! The Krippenstein is also home to Austria's longest descent at 11kilometers. The ski pass covers the Dachstein West ski region which has over 140 kilometres of pistes & is an ideal area for the whole family. The area is one of Austria's best kept secrets & as such has few queues even in February.
