St. Wolfgang

St. Wolfgang is an ancient village and idyllic resort, situated among spectacular setting on the shores of Lake Wolfgangsee. No matter it is one of the smaller ski resorts in Austria, it has direct access to 10km of downhill piste terrain with 18 individual pistes served by 9 ski lifts. The village is set at 540 m elevation, but the local ski slopes on the Postalm plateau provide rather steep and windy uphill ride to the 1200m base of the ski lifts. It is reachable within some 35 -minutes ski bus ride from the village and its gentle and wide slopes are suited especially for beginners and early intermediates. The advanced intermediates and boarders can continue further with the bus for another 15 minutes and explore the challenges of the Gosau ski area, attended mainly later in the week. In general, St. Wolfgang is not very attractive for the advanced skiers but they can still relax and cruise the gentle slopes. Snowboarding is also available mostly to those that have always wanted to put feet on the board in the environment of peaceful and wide slopes.

The charming resort of St.Wolfgang represents also a wide selection of non-skiing activities. Hikers will be extremely fascinated by the scenic mountain trails, leading to the high-elevated plateau areas, panoramic ridges and gorgeous peaks. Snowshoe walking, skating, tobogganing and sleigh rides are among the activities that attract tourists but why not accept some other interesting offers like balloon ride. Those that desire to relax down in the village can undertake opportunities like visiting the Thermal Baths in Bad Ischl or some more active like bowling and curling. If the shopping venues in St. Wolfgang are not enough for you, an excursion to the vivid cultural and historic city of Salzburg is available.

A blend of traditions and modernity with exciting atmosphere, together with the natural beauties of St. Wolfgang are hard to be described in few words. The lovely, long-year old centre is rich in cultural and historical features. The unique combination of lake and mountains makes the resort a popular tourist destination, which has inspired artists for centuries – poets and painters, musicians and composers. What else can be better than starting your day with a delicious breakfast over jazz music, then take the cog railway up to Schafberg Mountain and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding mountain scenery. In the evening you will not be bored again – indulge into the classic music with the legendary "White Horse Inn" operetta. Special events throughout the season include a magical Advent period and weekly events such as amusing folklore evenings. With traditions in hospitality St. Wolfgang has a great choice of accommodation options: hotels, farms, private holiday homes, guesthouses, inns, etc – for people with different wallets and preferences. The resort has much more to offer regarding its vibrant après-ski scene and nightlife, compared to most villages of its size. Various restaurants with culinary delights are available, as well as a wide selection of pubs and cafés where you can enjoy a drink or afternoon coffee and cakes. You can unwind and compare your ski stories in the many friendly bars: White Horse Inn, Weisser Bär, Cortisen or Hubertushof and many others. With your family, alone or with friends, you can spend a truly relaxing vacation and have exciting time in St. Wolfgang.
