South of the Alps main ridge, the snow is whiter. Seriously, every East or South Tyroler and every Carinthian will happily confirm that. The snow clouds bring their bounty fresh and white from the near Mediterranean to the Tauern main ridge, where the tourist region of Katschberg sits on the border between Salzburg and Carinthia. You realise you are here on the sunny side of the Alps when you feel the hours of sunshine and also the southern lifestyle, which makes a holiday for families with children so relaxed.

In winter, the Katschberg Family Region is perfectly equipped for the young guests and their adult companions.

• Ski pleasure on 70km of slopes, which can be 100% snow-covered
• Ski slope reserved only for children: “Katschi’s Kid’s World” with comic figures and warm pavilions
• Wide and clear slopes
• At the 16 ski-lifts helpful lift staff and adjustable conveyor belts make it easy for kids to step on
• Stop in for a cosy break and a hearty pick-me-up on one of the ski huts sunny terraces

Whoever has their quarters on the Katschberghöhe, stays directly on the slope and with the “Ski in, Ski out” motto can put on their skis right by the front door and ski off. Family friendly accommodation is found on the Katschberghöhe in many 4-Star hotels as well as in holiday apartments, huts and chalets.
