Ski Resorts in Lower Austria Ready for the Start of Semester Holidays

A total of 13 businesses, 47 lift systems and 83.1 kilometers of slopes are available in Lower Austria, in addition to the Rax cable car and the Schneeberg chairlift for winter hikes. "This year's ski season is going excellently," emphasized Johanna Mikl-Leitner (ÖVP), the state governor responsible for tourism.

Ski Resorts in Lower Austria Attract with Mountain Adventure Pass

The Lower Austrian Mountain Adventure Pass has been used by families on an average of seven days so far. The joint season ticket for ten Lower Austrian ski resorts has been issued about 8,000 times, according to Mikl-Leitner. After the first week of semester holidays (Lower Austria, Vienna), it continues with Burgenland, followed by Upper Austria and Styria. Many families with school-age children are also expected in Lower Austria, said the state governor. Michael Reichl, chairman of the cable car division in the Chamber of Commerce, is particularly pleased that all three ski resorts in the Waldviertel "offer full operation with excellent slope conditions". The Arralifts Harmanschlag, the Schidorf Kirchbach and the Skiarena Jauerling also offer floodlit skiing.

"Semester Holidays are Peak Season" for Ski Resorts in Lower Austria

Technical snowmaking enables and secures operation, emphasized Markus Redl, managing director of the state-owned ecoplus Alpin GmbH. Due to the higher density of machine snow, phases with warmer temperatures or rain can also be survived. "The semester holidays are peak season," Redl reminded and advised: "Book the tickets online in advance." This saves money and reduces waiting times. "We are very satisfied with the snow cover at the Hochkar mountain railways and the Ötscher lifts. The Annaberger lifts are also in full operation," the managing director of ecoplus Alpin promoted. Semmering Hirschenkogel offers continuous day and night operation until February 15th inclusive. The Schilifte Feistritzsattel are open daily during the Lower Austrian semester holidays. There is evening operation under floodlights on Fridays. The Gemeindealpe Mitterbach is in full operation with the Snowpark, among other things, according to Redl, and two slopes are available at the tow lift in Losenheim (Puchberg am Schneeberg).
