ℹ️ These figures refer to the Snow Space Salzburg ski area, which is shared by several resorts: kilometres of runs, number of runs, lifts and lift pass are common to all. The values shown here and on the pages of neighbouring resorts therefore refer to the same ski area and the same lift pass: they are not added together.

Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability

✍️ Our verdict on Wagrain

Wagrain offers 120.1 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. The 43 lifts are generally sufficient to handle the crowds in high season. Wagrain's family reputation is well deserved: dedicated beginner areas, a well-organised childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It's one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. Wagrain's moderate altitude, starting at 838 m and topping out at 1,980 m, makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you travel is strongly recommended. The budget for a stay in Wagrain is clearly high: €75 for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It's the price of excellence, but be aware of it before you set off. In short: Wagrain lives up to its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
