Freeride

Off-slope skiing

Freeride – Skiing or snowboarding down the slopes can be an extreme sport, but it does not have to be.

With the Dachstein West ski region, the Freeride Arena Krippenstein and the Dachstein glacier the Dachstein Mountains offer all the conditions to enable everyone depending on their skiing ability to experience the fun of descending the piste.
