Skiing in Nassfeld
The ski resort offers 110km of runs, a good amount of terrain for all levels from beginners to intermediates, but its on piste terrain doesn’t cater greatly for advanced skiers.
Tressdorger Alm is where the nursery slopes are located for beginner lessons, located at the top of the Millennium Express gondola. There are also beginner runs at Sonnenalpe.
Nassfeld is a great resort for families with an excellent ski school and lots of family activities. For younger children there are two daytime options: "All in One" Bobo Mini Club: Full day club for 2-5 year olds which combines play (mini-tubing, snowman building, etc. and indoor play) with a little skiing. "Take Care" kindergarten: Half or full day non-skiing care for 2-5 year olds.
The area is an ideal place for intermediates. There are a number of blues and reds for developing technique. For more confident intermediates, the runs in Gartnerkofel and Watschiger Alm have a variety of challenging slopes. Easier intermediate runs can be found from the top of the main gondola where there are some blues and reds going down into Sonnenalpe Nassfeld.
There aren’t a huge selection of runs for more experienced and advanced skiers with only one black run (Trogkofelbfahrt) and reds being the majority of categorised slopes. There are however off piste routes higher up the mountain but it is highly recommended you ski these with a trained guide for safety and to ensure you make the most out of Nassfeld’s powder. The Lesachtal Valley is the best areas for off piste as the trails are largely untouched and uncrowded with descents of up to 4,000 ft.
For freestylers, there is a snow park at Gartnerkofel that has a rails section for beginners line, jib line and pro line as well as kickers, quarter pipes, tables and a boarder cross. For freeriders, there is dedicated terrain for freeriders in Schneeloch of Nassfeld that has amazing powder snow. Also there are ski touring opportunities that have varying difficulty levels. One option is the Rosskofel Tour that starts at the foot of Rosskofel mountain and takes you past the rock massif of Rosskofel. It’s worth stopping to take in the beautiful views here.
