Skigebiet Mariazeller Bürgeralpe

Mariazell

Fun in the snow for the whole family is the motto of the Mariazeller Bürgeralpe.

Wide pistes for young and old

There are 8 pistes to choose from with 14 km of length and every level of difficulty - tested and awarded the Styrian Piste Quality Seal. The Zuckerwiese in St. Sebastian with its practice lift is the ideal slope for beginners. The best piste conditions are guaranteed by modern piste equipment and snow-making facilities.

Modern lifts

The new 8-person gondola lift "Bürgeralpe Express", two 4-person chair lifts as well as a platter lift ensure effortless ascents. Two ski schools with a children's area, one of which has a magic carpet and rope lift, round off the offer. Bastis Slope Basti's Slope at the Jubilee Meadow on the mountain consists of several snow obstacles (wave run, kicker) and a short giant slalom. At the finish you can compare your best times. The ski ticket also launches a video recording: skiers and snowboarders can have themselves filmed on the course and watch, download and share their ski movies free of charge via the internet at www.buergeralpe.at/winter/skiline . In addition, Skiline measures metres of altitude skied, lift rides and kilometres of piste and displays these when the ski pass number is entered.

Touring ski trails

The Bürgeralpe is an insider's tip for touring ski novices as well as for all those who fancy a short tour with a prepared downhill run. Three trails (mostly off-piste) are available for the ascent, which can be combined as desired. A touring card is required. Ski Touring Evening Every Friday, selected pistes are opened and released for touring ski fans from the end of lift operation until 8.30 pm. To enjoy the successful ascent, a hut on the mountain is also open until 8.00 pm.

Down into the valley on a toboggan

The 2.5 km long natural toboggan run guarantees winter fun on two runners for young and old. The track with great panoramic views leads from the mountain station to the valley station of the 8-seater cable car. Sleds are also available for hire at the valley station.

Drei-Seen-Blick circular hiking trail

The winter hiking trail starts at the mountain station. Along the circular hiking trail you have a great view of the three lakes Kristallsee, Erlaufsee and Hubertussee. Walking time: approx. 45 minutes.
