9 km valley run

Upper Austrian's longest descent

What makes the most beautiful mountain in the Dachstein massif so special on the piste is due to the high alpine and somewhat rough appearance, the 9 km long valley run, the Krippenstein's eternal insider tip status and the fact that freeriders naturally don't go there can be found on the slopes ;))

You off-piste fans can safely bring your friends and family who are not suitable for deep snow - there is also a small - but more than nice - offer at Krippenstein for beginners and children.
