Prettiest resort of the Salzburger Sportwelt area
Possibly the prettiest resort of the Salzburger Sportwelt area and home to the famous downhill racer Hermann Maier or the ‘Herminator’ as he was affectionately known, who runs a ski school in the town.
With an incredible number of runs radiating down from the peak of the Griessenkareck Mountain – students can easily spend 45 minutes skiing down the mountain from top to bottom on just one run. Flachau offers a great range of long blue and red slopes with more testing black of the Top Liner lift a great challenge.

Great for Learning

Flachau is particularly well suited to school groups with mixed ability levels. Known for its wide, well-groomed slopes and modern lift system Flachau provides an ideal environment for learning, progression and enjoyment on the mountain.

Flachau is especially strong for beginners, offering a large selection of gentle blue runs that are wide, clearly marked and easy to navigate. Dedicated learning zones, including the popular Kidsrun area, help make early lessons engaging and confidence-building for younger or less experienced students. Modern lifts and well-organised meeting points support safe group management and smooth transitions throughout the ski day.

For intermediate students, Flachau is an excellent choice. The resort is renowned for its long, flowing red and blue pistes, which are perfect for developing technique and building confidence.

Build Skiers’ confidence

While Flachau itself is predominantly intermediate in nature, more advanced students can access greater challenges nearby. The connection to Zauchensee opens up steeper terrain, including the well-known World Cup Kälberloch piste, as well as additional demanding runs. The Gamskogel Nord descent provides a longer, steeper test for confident skiers.

Students can enjoy seamless, lift-linked access to extensive terrain across Flachau, Wagrain and St. Johann–Alpendorf, allowing for varied skiing without the need for transport. The wide piste are also ideal for progressing skiers allowing for high mileage exploration of the full area.

Accommodation

Take on the Ski Safari

From the top of the Griessenkareck Mountain groups can also ski down the Flying Mozart runs to get access to the G-Link to return to the Wagrain side of the valley. Indeed, many of our beginners group by the end of the week are taking on the Flachau to Alpendorf ski safari – a great achievement for their first school ski trip.
