From challenging and demanding slopes to easy and gentle runs for beginners, Grossglockner Resort Kals-Matrei is an excellent ski resort for the whole family. The resort is located in the eastern part of Tyrol and actually consists of two ski areas, Matrei and Kals. The merger of the resorts results in plenty of popular slopes and has two high points, Blauspitz (7,546 ft) and Cimaross (7,959 ft). To always ensure perfect snow quality, the area is equipped with snow cannons. The longest run you can enjoy is 6.8 miles and it's open all season long (thanks in large part to the snow cannons).
For those seeking something more challenging, adrenaline-pumping, and demanding, you can head towards the very steep slopes at Cimaross. You'll find them in the direction of Matrei. For those traveling with children, Grossglockner Resort Kals-Matrei is also a great choice, as there is a whole ski park for the little ones. The ski resort is part of the Ski Hit Osttirol ski pass together with eight other ski resorts.
