Tauplitz: Ski holidays between slopes, winter trails and mountain lakes

If you are looking for accommodation for a ski holiday in Tauplitz, you can structure your stay around two different experiences: the wide slopes on the Lawinenstein and Schneiderkogel or the winter trails on the Tauplitz and the mountain lakes of the Tauplitzalm. The four-seater Tauplitz I and II chairlifts take you from Tauplitz to the Tauplitzalm at an altitude of 1,650 metres. Together, they are four kilometres long. For trip planning, it is also important to know that the village on the Tauplitzalm is car-free in winter.

Slopes and lift connection to the Tauplitzalm

The slopes on the Lawinenstein and Schneiderkogel are wide. Anyone who prefers calm, sweeping turns when skiing will find a clearly defined focus here. Families can also include these slopes in their plans.

The Tauplitz I and II chairlifts provide the connection between Tauplitz and the Tauplitzalm. They have four seats and travel up to an altitude of 1,650 metres. The total length of four kilometres helps put the scale of this lift connection into perspective. Anyone travelling with children or ski equipment should factor this route firmly into their daily plans and check the current operating information before setting off.

Winter hiking, mountain lakes and panorama

The Tauplitzalm also offers specific options for a winter day away from the slopes. Well-prepared winter hiking trails on the Tauplitz lead through the mountain landscape and open up 360-degree panoramic views of hundreds of surrounding mountain peaks. An impressive mountain panorama accompanies you from the Tauplitzalm to the summit of the Traweng. The trails are a documented counterpart to a day of skiing and may appeal to travellers who do not want to spend every shared activity on skis.

There are six mountain lakes on the Tauplitzalm, including Märchensee and Steirersee. Well-marked trails connect the mountain lakes. This makes it possible to structure a stay around individual viewpoints and trail sections without presenting the lakes as a single circular route. The hiking and walking trails are well developed and can be used with a pushchair and wheelchair on some sections. The qualification “some sections” is crucial for planning: it does not describe every section of trail in the same way.

Car-free Tauplitzalm and arrival

The village on the Tauplitzalm is car-free in winter. You should take this framework into account when choosing your accommodation and organising luggage and equipment. For public transport, RegioBus route 950 is relevant: it runs to the Tauplitz municipal office or to the valley station of the mountain lift. The two destinations mentioned are different points of orientation for arrival.

The Tauplitzalm is also home to the Tauplitzalm mountain church. It was built in 1962/1963 on the initiative of the Catholic youth. The parish church of Tauplitz, a Roman Catholic church, is located in the centre of Tauplitz. Anyone wishing to supplement their stay with a cultural programme item can include these two churches separately in their daily plans.
