Skiing on the Bürgeralpe

The Mariazeller Bürgeralpe offers 8 slopes totaling 11.5 km in length and covering every level of difficulty—all tested and awarded the Styrian Slope Quality Seal. The Zuckerwiese in St. Sebastian, with its practice lift, is the ideal slope for beginners. Optimal slope conditions are guaranteed by modern grooming equipment and snowmaking systems.

The 8-person gondola “Bürgeralpe-Express,” two 4-person chairlifts, and a platter lift ensure an effortless ascent. Two ski schools with children’s areas—one of which features a magic carpet and a rope tow—help children learn their first turns in the snow.
