Poster: A snowHead
|
We still stick with the blue slopes in Lofer in Austria. However, this year we would like to head to another resort within 20 miles of Lofer that has plenty blue slopes so looking for suggestions.

Not sure how far Mari Alm is from Lofer but plenty blues and really wide cruisy reds to progress to. Pretty village and linked to other areas too. No good if you want really wild apres but some decent bars and restaurants which are cheaper than we had expected.

Drive 20 mins to Saalfelden:
Turn left at the roundabout for Maria Alm (as above)
or turn right for Leogang - there's an excellent long blue run fom the top of Atsitz to the mid-station, and plenty of other great runs up there too

Maria Alm and Leogang would be good. Another possibility would be the Steinplatte (reached from Waidring).
And with the new Schwarzeck lift at Lofer you'll have whole new area to discover there too

Espri, looking forward to the Schwarzeck lift this year.

ORF (Austrian Television) has a video clip of the new Schwarzeck lift (commentary in German). There is also a text report here. Looks like another attractive run.
In Lofer they have invested ca. €17.5 million in new lifts in the last two years.

My parents have often gone to Steinplatte for a day trip from Lofer.
