About Gerlitzen

Gerlitzen is a small and friendly resort for beginners and improving skiers to practise their skills. The resort has excellent beginner areas and wide, safe runs on well-groomed slopes.

Gerlitzen is actually the name of the mountain on which the skiing takes place - at just under 2,000 metres, it’s the highest peak in the immediate vicinity and recognised as one of the best vistas in Austria.

Substantial investment in artificial snowmaking means that, despite its modest altitude Gerlitzen is usually open for skiing from the beginning of December until late April.
