Krippenstein Freesports Arena

Originally developed in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, freeskiing is now becoming increasingly popular at ski resorts in the Alps as well. More and more ski resorts are following this trend by specializing in this form of winter sports and catering ever better to the needs of freeriders. A shining example is the Krippenstein Freesports Arena near the ski resort of Bad Goisern in Upper Austria.

Among freeriders, the Krippenstein Freesports Arena is also known by the nickname Little Canada, which alone speaks to the quality of the freeskiing opportunities there. At the ski resort on the Dachstein, extreme skiers are spoiled for choice and can pursue their adventurous hobby on off-piste runs with a combined length of around 30 kilometers. The Krippenstein Freesports Arena also offers useful equipment, such as a piste guide, at affordable prices.

The Moserwirt ski hotel in Bad Goisern also offers a winter package specially tailored to freeriders, valid from now through April 11, 2009—that is, Easter Saturday. Two nights’ half board, a two-day ski pass for the Krippenstein Freesports Arena, transfers to and from the ski resort, and a professional guide from Outdoor-Leadership, starting at 318 euros per person, are hard to beat in this ski region. Guests of the Moserwirt ski hotel can also use the wellness area free of charge.
