Set just across the road from the foot of the piste, this hotel makes it easy to spend as much time on the slopes as possible.

With full-board dining included, you can also glide back at lunchtime for a convenient meal before heading out again for an afternoon on the mountain.

After skiing, the wellness facilities offer plenty of ways to unwind. Take a dip in the indoor pools, relax in the spacious spa, or enjoy the soothing warmth of the steam room and sauna. There are bubbling hot tubs too, while younger guests have their own dedicated wellness area, a fun waterslide and a kids’ club packed with crafts and activities.

Meals are fully taken care of throughout your stay. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, giving you plenty of choice, while dinner combines table service with a menu inspired by both Austrian and Italian cuisine.

About Katschberg

Katschberg is a hidden gem that's perfect for families seeking an authentic Austrian ski holiday. This largely ski-in, ski-out resort offers dedicated beginner areas and gentle slopes right on the doorstep, making it easy for skiers of all abilities to enjoy the mountains. Beyond the village, the 70km ski area is renowned for its scenic, tree-lined red runs, providing plenty of variety for intermediate skiers. Along the way, traditional mountain huts offer the ideal place to pause and enjoy hearty local specialities, from warming stews to freshly baked apple strudel.

Located on the border of Salzburg and Carinthia, the village of Katschberghöhe sits at 1,640m in a picturesque mountain pass. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with lively après-ski available for those who want it, while the focus remains on cosy evenings, warm hospitality and quality family time. Modern hotels with excellent facilities ensure a comfortable stay for guests of all ages.

There's plenty to enjoy away from the slopes too. Race downhill on a snow tube, experience the magic of floodlit tobogganing after dark, or take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered Gontal Nature Reserve. If you're visiting in December, don't miss the enchanting Adventweg, a festive walking trail featuring music, storytelling and seasonal traditions that captures the magic of Christmas in the Alps.
