Ski schools and ski courses in Eben im Pongau
The small, but for that, more distinguished holiday village of Eben in Pongau in the middle of Ski amadé, captivates with its ski resort, which in many eyes is seen as an insider tip. This is due to the fact that the “monte popolo“, the ski mountain of Eben, offers perfect slopes and top modern, child friendly lifts.
Monte popolo is much quieter than the more well-known ski resorts in the surrounding area, which is also a reason why families like it so much here. Nevertheless, the ski resort in Salzburger Land has a lot to offer: it gets points for adventure children’s slopes, speaking forest animals and a Funpark with various trails and slides, a video route and the Andrea Fischbacher speed measuring run. This is all spread out over 6 kilometres of slopes and 4 ski lifts. So small, so good. And besides that, it is also good value for money. In fitting with the ski area is the local ski school and snowboard school which is naturally also geared towards the special needs of families; with children’s ski courses including whole day supervision and private courses, the children’s land with a magic carpet, skiing obstacle course and a skiing carousel, with video recording and a ski school race, in a playful manner, this is how skiing and snowboarding is taught to you and your loved ones. There are also quaint huts with large sun terraces, where you can stop off for a break or go to at the end of the day, but this goes without saying. And also, the après ski does not fall short here, in the heated après ski bar at the bottom station of monte popolo, you can celebrate to your hearts content and get to know some new people. Next to the bottom station of Monte Popolo, you can easily rent your ski equipment at the local ski rental for the duration of your stay. That means for you: No annoying towing, because you can use the ski depot directly at the ski rental for free!
And if you would like to explore the other ski areas in the surrounding area one day, then the free ski bus can also take you to Flachau, where you can get onto the 3 valley ski lift, which also means you can get over to Wagrain and Alpendorf. Thanks to the quick and easy access to Eben, due to its location just off the motorway, it means that Eben is also the perfect starting point for a day trip! It is also close to enough to do a day trip to Salzburg, which is only a 40 minute drive away.
Cross-country skiers are also in good hands in Eben in Pongau, as the 10 km long cross-country skiing route connects directly to the 60km long Tauern trail. And also, the high-altitude cross-country skiing trail on the Rossbrand in Filzmoos is only a few minutes drive away. Additionally, here you can also go winter hiking, tobogganing, go on a horse drawn sleigh ride or visit the thermal spas in the neighbouring town of Altenmarkt in Pongau. Going ski touring on the monte popolo is also possible and is very popular with the locals too. Monte popolo not only makes it possible to have an affordable holiday for you and your family in Austria, but it will also be an unforgettably wonderful experience.
