Overall 4.4 Based on 11 votes and 3 reviews
Rußbach is a great ski area for families and intermediates but not so good for beginners as there are long, fairly steep runs to get back to car park (unless you get the lift). The lifts are modern with no queues. Restaurants are good value and the scenery is absolutely stunning. If you like Schladming you will love the Dachstein West area. It has the same sort of skiing but much quieter and with plenty of good red runs with a couple of steep black runs to test your turning skills. Took us 3 days to ski the whole area and recommend also visiting the smaller resort of Loser near Bad Auseee and Feurkogel in Ebensee. For those expert skiers who love going off-piste, the Krippenstein at Obertauren is a fantastic ski area with the longest red run possibly in Europe.
