When the first snow falls around the Family Hotel Oberkarteis, Hüttschlag transforms into a sparkling winter wonderland. Here, winter holidays with children are exactly as they should be: varied, relaxed and full of special family moments. Whether on the slopes of Ski amadé or enjoying activities away from the pistes, the Grossarltal offers pure snow fun and countless winter experiences.
With 760 kilometres of pistes, 270 lifts and one ski pass covering it all, Ski amadé is Austria’s largest ski area – and the Grossarltal is right at the heart of it. Varied runs, family-friendly slopes, cosy mountain huts and sunny terraces make your ski holiday with children a real highlight.
Großarltal-Dorfgastein Ski Area
Skiing in the Region
The Großarltal–Dorfgastein ski area is one of the five interconnected regions of Ski amadé. From the Family Hotel Oberkarteis, you can easily reach the gondola station with the free ski bus. Once there, you’ll find 80 kilometres of perfectly prepared and snow-reliable slopes suitable for every level.
A particular favourite for families is the 7 km valley run.
For action lovers and young adventurers:
Funslope: A family-friendly highlight with tunnels, waves and the popular High-Five station at the start.
Snowpark (Familypark): Around 500 metres of action with kickers, boxes, rails and obstacles for every level – perfect for children and teenagers.
Your children’s ski lessons start directly at the hotel. Our partner ski school “Toni Gruber” supports young skiers with patience, motivation and a sense of safety – from their very first turns to confident skiing on the slopes.
Beyond the slopes, many winter adventures await both young and old in Salzburger Land. This makes your winter holiday in the Grossarltal a truly well-rounded experience:
