Fanningberg is the ski day without the circus: wide, sunny, uncrowded pistes that suit families and relaxed skiers.
Why go
Short lift queues, a solid ski school, kid-friendly terrain, and prices well below the famous neighbouring resorts — 15 minutes from the apartment door.
Good to know
- Season: early December to Easter; this winter’s dates are under At a glance.
- About 30 km of mostly blue and red slopes between 1,347 m and 2,152 m.
- Lunch at the slope-side huts, or drive down to a Gasthof in Weißpriach or Mariapfarr.
- In summer only the Samsonbahn runs, on selected days.
Fitting it into a week
Fanningberg is the natural first day: easy terrain to find your legs, and ski school for the children. Move on to Grosseck-Speiereck for longer descents or Obertauern for mileage. The skiing guide compares all four Lungau mountains, and the Winter Weekend pairs Fanningberg with Obertauern.
