Nassfeld Ski Area
Boasting 110km of piste and 30 lifts, with impressive mountain panoramas, good snow-reliability and 100 more hours of sunshine than some Northern Alps ski areas, it is no wonder that Nassfeld is one of Austria’s top ski resorts.
The unique micro-climate guarantees snow coverage throughout the entire season and ensures the sun and a crystal clear sky. In addition, the well-developed infrastructure offers many sports and leisure activities away from the pistes.
Nassfeld is approximately a 30-minute drive down the Gail valley from Kötschach-Mauthen. Fortunately Nassfeld Ski Bus provide a free bus shuttle from the Kötschach-Mauthen Family Ski Area to the Millennium Express Cable Car at Nassfeld Ski Area. The bus stop at Kötschach-Mauthen Family Ski Area is only a short distance away from Villa Steinbock and Villa Gemse, in easy walking distance, even with skiing gear.
