The ski area at Rauris, concentrated on the Hochalm, is one of the smallest on the international circuit with around 25km (17 miles) of runs. However guests in the resort like it that way - intimate. Beginners can take the gondola up to a snowsure1800m for their first turns, all next to a good mountain restaurant with spectacular views for recovery sessions. The easy slopes continue down to a gondola station 300 vertical meters below, so that technique can be mastered over longer than usual runs without the need to master a possibly more difficult surface lift back up every few hundred metres as is so often the case. Intermediates can go further, taking the new Rauris Summit Lift right up to 2,200m with long blues all the way back down. Before hitting the slopes you can go online or switch on the local TV channels to check out weather and slope conditions on the live panorama camera. Advanced skiers have limited on piste terrain, although it does include a little-known 3.3km black run down from Heimalm below the lower gondola section. Ski touring with a guide is also popular, particular in the Spring. The Rauris Valley offers countless ski tours through open countryside. Embarking from the valley head or ascending the slopes to the left and right above Bucheben, a popular target is the Hoher Sonnblick, the highest peak in the valley. There are several other small ski areas along the valley, linked by a free ski bus.
