SENSATIONS

Mikaela Shiffrin, Petra Vlhova, Marlies Raich, Frida Hansdotter, Veronika VelezZuzulová, Maria Höfl-Riesch. These are the names of the skiers who skied to victory on the Hermann Maier FIS World Cup course and were thus crowned Snow Space Salzburg Princesses. 

Would you like to follow in the tracks of these and other famous and great ski stars? Do you want to ski down the same course and experience the same feeling? Then you've come to the right slope at the Hermann Maier FIS World Cup course in Flachau. 

In 2003, the slope was renamed the "Hermann Maier FIS World Cup Course". And for good reason, after all, the multiple ski world champion and Olympic champion is a true Flachau native. In the middle of the skiing area Snow Space Salzburg, part of Austria's greatest skiing Ski amadé, tangible racing fever awaits you on a course length of more than 600 metres.

In 2021 and 2022, the men's World Cup squad also visited Snow Space Salzburg. Atle Lie McGrath (2022) and Manuel Feller (2021) can also count themselves among the winners on the Hermann Maier World Cup course since then. 

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... go... Experience the feeling of standing at the starting gate. The Hermann Maier World Cup starting gate is a must-visit and is a photo point on your way through Snow Space Salzburg.

On the over 600 meter long sound slope on the Planai, you are accompanied by various musical sounds while carving, wedeling and swinging. The modern sound technology ensures exceptional listening pleasure and, in combination with the wide slopes, good moods are guaranteed here. 

The Lärchkogel lift on the Planai takes you high up. The panorama deck on the roof of the mountain station invites you to enjoy the view. In addition to the fantastic view of the Dachstein massif, you will also find a Skiline Live-Photopoint here. Here you can take a photo with your ski pass and then call it up online. 

Anyone who has reached the summit of the Stubnerkogel should definitely not miss the viewpoint. Because from here you have a magnificent view of the surrounding snow-covered mountains and the Großglockner (3798 m), one of Austria's landmarks, even in winter.

In the middle of Kings Park awaits you a box seat with probably the most spectacular views and photo motifs of the ski area.

A 360° panoramic view from the Hochkönig to the Hohe Tauern, plus a box seat with a striking wooden throne. The perfect conditions for a breathtaking souvenir photo.

The name of the region can be found in large letters as a wooden construction on the Schlossalmbahn in Bad Hofgastein. The approx. 3-meter lettering not only serves as an eye-catcher and photo motif, but also as a seat on the mountain. In addition to the magnificent view, you can also capture your mountain experience without taking a "selfie". 

As you know, you have a fantastic view of the mountains of Schladming-Dachstein everywhere on the Planai – even from the toilet. At the Sky Toilets at the Märchenwiesenbahn you can enjoy a great view – depending on the season – over lush green mountain meadows or perfectly groomed ski slopes.
