Ski & Snowboard Holidays to St Wolfgang
St. Wolfgang ski & snowboard holidays take you to a very pretty village which lies beside the lake of the same name. It is not a resort for serious skiers as the runs are more suited to beginners and lower intermediates. There is more challenging terrain in Gosau but that involves an hour of travel by bus. St. Wolfgang is a good choice for parties with non-skiers as they can enjoy the facilities in the village or take a trip to Bad Ischl which is the closest spa town. The resort sits at an altitude of five hundred and forty metres and the highest lift is at nineteen hundred metres. There are no lifts from St. Wolfgang itself. The ski bus takes you to the Postalm plateau where there are twenty kilometres of runs. Gosau adds a further one hundred and forty kilometres to the total but that of course involves a longer bus journey. Postalm has thirty five kilometres of trails for cross country skiers and there is a snow park for boarders.
