✍️ Our view of Katschberg

Katschberg offers 80 km of well-marked runs — a medium-sized ski area ideal for spending 4 to 5 days without ever doing exactly the same thing twice. Its 17 lifts are generally sufficient to handle the flow in peak season. Katschberg has preserved an authentic mountain-village identity, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoiled scenery and a warm, human atmosphere that stands apart from the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. Katschberg's altitude (1,066 m at the base, 2,220 m at the top) helps it keep decent snow cover in the depths of winter. January and February are the most reliable months; in December and March, it is worth checking conditions before finalising a booking. Budgeting for a stay in Katschberg is clearly on the high side: 73€ for a day lift pass, on top of accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. That is the price of excellence — but you should be aware of it before you set off. In short: Katschberg keeps its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most types of skier without disappointing.
