Kreischberg is a great place for skiing. It has 42 kilometer of ski tracks 8 kilometre of it is black track, 11 is blue and 23 is red. There are freestyle courses and tracks for little kids. There is a pretty steep track where you ski down as fast as you can and a ˝machine˝ tells you how many km/h did you go. There is a track where at the beggining yo have to press a button, it starts a timer and you have to go trough in a race track and at the end you have to press a botton and it will tell you that how fast you have done the track. There are tracks especially for kids like the ghost train, kreisch safari or dino world where you go on a blue track and there are animals which make sounds and move a little. There are 7 restaurant with great food and workers, ( a lot of worker speaks german, hungarian and english as well) from the 7 restaurants, I recommend to go to the ˝Eagle˝ it is at almost the top of the mountain, but no( because there is a higher point, called ˝Rosenkranzhöle˝), it has an amazing view and panorama and foods, but you have to reserve a table like at the start of the day, because many people go to it. There are 2 big cabin tracks , one of these is the one which transports you to the point which is higher then the middle of the mountain, but much lower than the top (1771 metre, and the top is 2118 metre)-the ˝valley station˝ is at 868 metre(it´s first station next to the parking), the middle station is at 1441 metre and it´s final station, the ˝mountain station˝ is at 1771 metres. It can literally transport 4000 people/hour and the cabin fits 10 people. In the ˝valley station˝, there is a wc, at the ˝mountain station˝, there is a wc, a lounge where people can rest, eat their foods-there are vending machines, tables, chairs sofas and a ˝playing square˝ for children. Next to the lounge, there are ski containers and a ski shop. There is the other cabin track, it transports 3000 people/hour from 1600 metre to it´s other station at 2055 metres-these cabins fit 10 people, like the others. There is an other ski lift, called the ˝Orange Sixpack˝, it is a ˝chair lift˝ which has an orange dome which protects you from Uv, rain and snow, if you want, you can pull it down on the ski lift, but if you want to enjoy the sun you can leave it on the top of your ski lift. It can transport 2000 people/hour and it fits 6 people. There are many oher ski lifts, but it would be long to tell it, so take a look at it at the webpage of Kreischberg-https://www.kreischberg.at/ I recommend Kreischberg for couples, youngsters, tennagers, families, older people and kids. A tip- before you go to Kreischberg, you should know that when is ski break at schools and skip it, because in these breaks, there are too much people on the track and you can´t really enjoy it, but when there is no ski break and you are not on a weekend, there are...

Read moreVielleicht das schönste Skigebiet Österreichs?
Nun, das ist Geschmacksache, aber ich war die letzten zwei Tage dort (Februar 2019) und es hat mir SEHR gut gefallen. Mein erstes Gefühl war "Dies ist ein Ski-Paradies". Ausschlaggebend für das Gefühl war, dass für jedes Level Pisten dabei sind, und andererseits das Panorama von ganz oben. Für Abwechslung ist garantiert: am meinem ersten Tag dort bin ich erst gegen 15:00 eine Piste ein zweites Mal gefahren!
Die Highlights aus meiner persönlichen Sicht:
Die breite Piste 2a, die zum Carven einlädt, und obwohl viele Anfänger dort unterwegs sind ist die Piste nie überfüllt, weil sie extrem breit ist.
Die Rennstrecke, Speed-Strecke und die zwei Fun-Parks im Bereich der Piste 3. Vor allem den Riesenslalom zu fahren hat total Spaß gemacht. Aber Achtung: am Nachmittag sind natürlich starke Wannen an den Toren, also lieber am Vormittag fahren.
Die Kombination der roten 15 und der schwarzen 16. Für mich die interessanteste Abfahrt auf dem Berg.
Die schwarze 7a für die, die eine steile Herausforderung mögen.
Die Aussicht von der Rosenkranzhöhe. Ein Paradies!
ABER ...
Es fehlt eine Talabfahrt die nicht schwarz ist. Für einen geübten Skifahrer kein Problem, nicht so geübte Fahrer müssen mit der Seilbahn hinunter.
Die Präparierung der Pisten an der Rosenkranzhöhe ließ als ich dort war zu wünschen übrig. Schon um 09:30 war der Schnee weich und uneben, gegen Mittag war alles aufgeworfen. Eine härtere Präparierung wäre meiner Meinung nach besser.
Der Doppelsessellift zur Rosenkranzhöhe war komplett überlastet, hier täte ein 4-er oder gar 6-er gut.
Der "Ochsenberg" Lift ... als er losfuhr wollte ich sofort wieder aussteigen ... so einen langsamen Lift bin ich noch nie gefahren. Eine gefühlte halbe Stunde brauchte ich hinauf mit diesem Lift.
Neutral:
Die rote 18 wäre in vielen anderen Skigebieten blau gewertet. Die Abfahrt ist zwar schön, aber man fährt gefühlt das meiste Schuss oder sehr direkt, wenn man eine gewisse Geschwindigkeit haben möchte.
Anmerkung:
Ursprünglich hatte ich 4/5 Sterne vergeben, vor allem aufgrund der negativen Punkte die oben erwähnt sind. Im Jänner 2020 korrigierte ich dies auf 5 Sterne. Warum? Weil ich in der Zwischenzeit in manch anderen Gebieten war, und keines war so schön wie der Kreischberg, und manche waren dennoch teurer. Ja, auch der Kreischberg ist nicht perfekt, aber ein schöneres Skigebiet muss ich erst mal finden, und das muss 5...
