Skiing
The Katschberg - the perfect skiing region for all levels. The Katschberg distinguishes itself with its beautiful slopes, modern lifts, snow guarantee (100 % of the pists are equipped with snow making facilities) and its seal of slope quality.
Regardless if beginner or professional everybody will find a run which suits his skills, especially the longest black run of Carinthia, the „Direttisima“, with 100 % decline is popular for professionals. For the children there is an exclusive child fun park with mini-jet and speaking comic figures available.
Silverjet set for take-off
The investment plan of Bogensperger's Katschberg lift dynasty constantly expans the infrastructure. Silverjet2 is one of the highlights. With the new cable car, skiers will no longer have to use the "Branntweiner- und Ainecklift" T-bar lifts to ascend the mountain.
Silverjet2, with its 8-passenger gondolas, rises to 520 metres, covering a length of 2250 metres. The new facility reaches the summit station within seven minutes, representing a speed of 22 km/h. As with most of the other Katschberg lift facilities, the manufacturer is the well-known Vorarlberg company Doppelmayr, which has designed a particularly futuristic look for the summit and base stations. Incidentally, the summit station also contains the garage of the Aineck PistenBully fleet, consisting of ten state-of-the-art vehicles.
A1, here we come! This construction project eliminated one of the last bottlenecks at the Aineck, reducing the journey time from the valley in St Margarethen up to the Aineck summit by ten minutes. Silverjet is boarded directly at the Aineck double-chairlift. From the summit station, there is a direct connection to the A1, or skiers can ski to the cable car via the Almen run (Almenabfahrt).
Awards. The piste pleasure is taken to a whole new level – the Katschberg has once again won the "Ski Area Test" and has been awarded the "International Pistengütesiegel" (international seal of approval for piste quality).
