Ski Lifts in Heiligenblut
Heiligenblut Grossglockner, which markets itself as ‘The Top of Austria’, has 11 ski lifts serving 55km of groomed slopes, and carrying up to 10,450 riders per hour. However, because of the topography and the long runs, the ski area feels bigger than the statistics would suggest. A gondola lift takes skiers from Heiligenblut am Grossglockner to the Schareck, from where you can reach the entire ski area.
Grossglockner Heiligenblut Ski Lifts
Heiligenblut am Großglockner’s ski-lift network features 11 ski lifts serving 55 km of pistes, and carrying up to 10,450 riders per hour from 1,301m up to 2,902m.
The two-stage Rossbach gondola goes all the way from the village of Heiligenblut to Schareck from where the 3.2-kilometre Fleisstal ski route connects with Fleissalm. From the gondola middle station, there is an entertaining way of reaching Fleissalm via the somewhat eccentric Tunnelbahn Fleissalm – a gondola ‘train’ through a tunnel. For those not staying in the village, there is free parking available at the middle station.
While the lifts themselves are reasonably efficient, the lift company faces financial challenges due to falling overnight numbers, which is surprising given the quality of skiing on offer.
When visited in late Feb and early March, waiting times were never an issue and the slopes were pleasantly uncrowded.
Lifts open at 9 am and the last lift closes at 4 pm.
