Nassfeld

Eastern Austria's Skiarena Karnten is home to the Nassfeld-Hermagor resorts. The ski area has a reasonably impressive 34 lifts in total, including the Millenium Express, which runs for over six kilometres from 610m on the valley floor to 1,919m at its summit. Several of these lifts are high-speed six-seaters and quads and along with quite a few drag lifts they give access to over 100km of pistes, all of them equipped with snow-making, and a top-station at 2,020m. (These altitudes may sound low compared with those in the French Western Alps, but it is important to remember that reliable snow-cover can be found at much lower levels in this far-eastern corner of the Alps.) The area also boasts a fine selection of good quality, good value hotels offering the best in Austrian hospitality.
