The skiing / snowboarding

Beginner skiing
4 / 5  Good
Intermediate skiing

Advanced skiing

Off-piste skiing
2 / 5  Bad
The ski lift system
3 / 5  Neutral
For beginners the area is great and for intermediates good. Advanced skiing is limited in the Dachstein West but the Krippenstein Freeride Arena just down the road and on the shared ski pass has some of the best off-piste in the Alps.

Gosau has one of the most charming locations in the Alps, in a gentle valley with river running its length and pretty Austrian buildings.

Good early on around the lift stations and on the mountain but soon gets quiet.
