The most scenic ski touring areas
in and around the Holiday Region Hohe Salve
Auracher Graben
Auracher Graben is very popular with the locals, because it is easy to get to, has reliable snow conditions and is very varied. At the only right-hand turn on the road from Aurach to Auracher Wildlife Park there is a big parking lot (1,045m). From there, follow the forest trail for about 30 minutes until the terrain becomes more open and you have to decide between numerous summits: Gebra (2,057m), Bischof (2.127m), Sonnspitz (2.062m), Staffkogel (2,115m) or Saalkogel (2,006m).
Wilder Kaiser
Some ski tours in the Wilder Kaiser are often possible well into May (Schneekar, Griesner Kar). But even in the middle of winter, there are quite a few options and the craggy rock formations of the Kaiser Mountains fascinate on each and every tour. Starting point for Wilder Kaiser tours are the Wochenbrunnalm, the parking lot below the Graspoint-Niederalm and Kaiserbach Valley (the toll road does not open before spring).
