Our Review

Altenmarkt is marketed as a linked resort with Zauchensee but is in fact only linked to it by road.  Whereas it is linked to Radstadt by piste.  However it is possible to see a marked difference in investment between the two resorts with Altenmarkt having older lifts and Radstadt having mostly modern lifts.

We really enjoy skiing here, the pistes are mostly quiet and there are no lift queues.  This means that after a dump of snow the fresh powder doesn't get tracked out so quickly.  The runs afford great views of both villages and also across to the Gamskogel above Zauchensee.  The pistes are wide and tree lined, great for beginners and intermediates.

The two villages are separated by the Kemahdhohe (1677 M) peak.  The pistes are not very high so the runs are usually some of the last in the Sportwelt to open. There is a single base station on each side of the mountain.  The Altenmarkt access point is on the road from Altenmarkt village to Zauchensee. The Radstadt base station is up the hill from Radstadt village.  

Getting There from Flachau

Four options:

1) Drive to either base station where there is sufficient parking.

2) Take the normal service bus to the centre of Altenmarkt which runs approximately every half an hour from Flachau but does not start until about 09:30 in the morning.  It is then necessary to change to the ski bus in Altenmarkt heading towards Zauchensee but get off at the base station just outside the village.

3) Take the service bus directly to Radstadt Post and then the ski bus to the base station.  This is the same as the service bus to Altenmarkt.

4) Our favourite option is to take the ski bus to Flachauwinkl (Roßkopf), ski over the top and down into Zauchensee village and then take the ski bus to Altenmarkt.  The bus to Altenmarkt runs every 20 minutes and takes about 10 minutes.
