Runs by difficulty

  • blue 24.2 km
  • red 39.3 km
  • black 3.6 km

The split comes from OpenStreetMap. A run with no difficulty tag falls into none of the three bars, so they can add up to less than the resort total.

The colours under the axis show school-holiday traffic per week of winter 2026/2027, from the holidays chapter — the curve is a long-term average, the traffic is this one season. A green band marks a quiet week in a month with at least 70 % of the snowiest month’s snowfall. This season: 7 Dec – 20 Dec, 11 Jan – 31 Jan.

This is snowfall, not snow depth on the slope: it says how much usually falls in a given month, not how much lies there. The measuring point sits close to the valley floor, so higher up it snows more.

Is Bad Kleinkirchheim worth it?

Bad Kleinkirchheim lies in the Carinthian Nockberge, in southern Austria, and combines two things rarely found together: skiing and thermal baths. You come off the slope straight into warm-water pools, and the piste is named after Franz Klammer, the Olympic downhill champion who was born here.

In our measurement from OpenStreetMap it comes to about 67 km of pistes, threaded through the gentle, wooded flanks of the Nockberge. The runs are mostly intermediate, with one steep race section, the Klammer -- terrain that is pleasant rather than extreme.

The Nockberge are lower and more rounded than the Tyrolean ridges, so snowmaking plays an important part here. The season usually runs from December to March.

The price we give is a one-day adult ticket -- €69.50 from the high-season rate list (checked 14 August 2026). Check prices with the operator before you travel. The drive from Poland is, per OpenStreetMap, about 840 km from Wrocław, 694 from Katowice and 770 from Kraków.
