Our
Review
The ski
resort of Flachauwinkl is split into two areas, Mooskopf
(Sunshine Shuttle) and Roßkopf (Zauchensee side).
They are linked by a short stretch of road that runs
under the A10 motorway and serviced by regular road
train and bus.
The
Mooskopf side is linked by piste with Kleinarl and has
one access point in Flachauwinkl; the Sunshine
Shuttle. Access to the pistes from Kleinarl is in
the centre of the village via the Champion
Shuttle.
Flachauwinkl/Kleinarl
has a good variety of sunny tree-lined pistes. The
sun is on the Flachauwinkl side in the morning and the
Kleinarl side in the afternoon. Whilst great in
peak season, this sunshine can mean that
Flachauwinkl/Kleinarl is not the best place to go when
snow coverage is poor.
We recommend
skiing off the Power Shuttle chair (cold - no hood!) for
great off-piste action through the trees and also the
pretty tree-lined skiing in the area off the Furstwandl
and Schuttalm drag-lifts (Kleinarl side).
On the
Flachauwinkl side and serviced by the Absolut 6-er chair
lift is the 'Absolute
Park', by far the largest park in the Salzburger
Sportwelt. The park is split into 'expert' and
'beginners' areas but even the 'beginners' area is
fairly scary! Some of the kickers in the 'expert'
area are just enormous and really only for world-class
snowboarders. At the bottom of the Absolut 6-er
chair is the 'Chill House'. This is a new 2-floor
heated glass building that has skateboard ramps on the
ground floor and comfy sofas on the upper floor with
great views over the beginners' park. It's a good
place to warm up on a cold day.
New for
the 2008/2009 season is "The Stash".
This is an off-piste area accessed from the Powder
Shuttle that is well known to anyone who has skied in
Flachawinkl. However, they have now branded it and
added some interesting features such as jumps, rails,
rollers etc. Here is a link to the official site: The
Stash.
On the
mountain hut front we would strongly recommend the
Winklalm (top of Sunshine Shuttle) for good food, an
excellent fire and even better Glühwein. 
Getting
There from Flachau
2
options:
1) You
can drive there and park up at the bottom of the
Sunshine lift in Flachauwinkl. Either drive
straight through Flachau or go one stop down the A10
motorway (Villach direction). You can also drive
to Kleinarl and park up by the bottom of the Champion
Shuttle.
2) Ski
buses to Flachauwinkl run all day, every 20 mins or so,
and will drop you at either of the Flachauwinkl areas.
