Skiing somewhere else this trip? The Zell am See–Kaprun area has eight other ski resorts besides Rauriser Hochalmbahnen.
The Hochalmbahnen sit at the head of the quiet Rauris valley, a side valley that most people drive past. It is smaller and less crowded than the big linked areas, which is exactly the appeal on a busy holiday week.

Yes — it is one of the calmer places to learn. Two novice runs and 10 km of easy piste, with two magic carpets, and far fewer people on the slopes than the larger resorts nearby.
Intersport Pirchner, Sport Egger and the Skischule Adventure Rauris are all in Rauris village, a couple of kilometres below the lifts. Each is pinned on the map above.
