Hinterstoder

Hinterstoder is Upper Austria's only Ski World Cup location and today enjoys the reputation of an attractive year-round holiday community.

The "Pearl of the Alps" Hinterstoder - a predicate for exceptional holiday resorts in the Alps, whose primary concerns are climate protection and gentle mobility - impresses with its authentic townscape surrounded by the impressive backdrop of the Dead Mountains. Winter sports are very important in Hinterstoder - the range of winter activities ranges from diverse downhill fun on the Hutterer Höss to romantic horse-drawn sleigh rides and hearty tobogganing fun. But the 1,000-person community of Hinterstoder is also a paradise for relaxation and leisure in summer. A number of hiking trails and natural beauty such as the Schiederweiher pond, the Polsterlucke or the Strumboding waterfall speak for themselves.

Piste star & star slopes
The Hutterer Höss ski area in Hinterstoder includes 40 kilometers of pistes for all ability levels, 14 lifts between 600 m and 2,000 m above sea level, a Sunny Kids Park and a snow park. The ski area in Hinterstoder boasts another highlight with the World Cup course in Hinterstoder, which was named after the downhill world champion Hannes Trinkl, who came from the region. A length of 3,500 meters, a maximum gradient of 60 percent and a width of up to 80 meters not only represents a challenge for athletes in international skiing, but also gives amateur athletes that World Cup feeling. The enchanting winter landscape of Hinterstoder and the cozy huts invite you to rest, relax and enjoy.

High - higher - Höss
In summer, the World Cup ski area in Hinterstoder presents itself as a true hiking paradise. With the cable car, the new 10-seater gondola lift and the Höss Express, it takes you up to 1,800m above sea level in no time at all, where the view of the Dead Mountains with one of the most beautiful mountain formations in the country - Spitzmauer, Großer and Kleiner Priel - is once again impressive. Some of the 14 newly created circular hiking trails in the Hinterstoderer RundWanderWelt also lead to the Höss in Hinterstoder.
