Fall in love
with Rauris
Do you love skiing? Do you like to discover new and lesser-known places where you can ride to your heart’s content on long groomed slopes without the crowds? Then Rauris is just for you! Called the hidden pearl of alpine skiing, our ski resort offers beautiful and varied pistes, fast cable cars and breathtaking alpine scenery. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced and demanding skiers.
Rauris is a smaller but versatile and diverse resort. It is located in a side valley at the foot of the “Hohe Tauern” at an altitude of 1000 – 2000 m above sea level. It provides more peace and smaller queues compared to the surrounding larger resorts. The pistes here are varied and rugged, they lead through mountain meadows along the two main axes of cable cars and lifts, which are connected by overpasses.
There is plenty of fun also for cross-country skiers. There are several interconnected cross-country trails right in the valley with wonderful views of the surrounding peaks. For children (and adults) there is a perfect toboggan run, which also offers evening rides.

If you like this mountain activity, you are in the right place in Rauris. At the end of the valley, wonderful marked ski alpine routes begin.
