Grosseck-Speiereck

Lungau's biggest local ski area above Mauterndorf and St. Michael, with long descents and valley views, 15 minutes from Mariapfarr.

A wide view from the Speiereck down over a green valley floor of fields and villages, with a small tower on the rocky crest to the right.

Grosseck-Speiereck is the bigger local mountain: around 50 km of pistes rising to 2,400 m, shared between Mauterndorf and St. Michael.

Why go

Long cruising descents, real vertical, and valley views across the whole Lungau plateau — while staying 15 minutes from the apartment.

Good to know

  • Season: early December to early April.
  • Access from the Mauterndorf valley station is closest to Mariapfarr.
  • Suits intermediates best; beginners are happier at Fanningberg.
  • Ski bus connections run in high season.
  • The Speiereckhütte is a ski stop on the mountain in winter.

After skiing

The valley station is in Mauterndorf, so the market street is the obvious coffee stop before the drive home; Burg Mauterndorf opens on selected winter afternoons. The skiing guide compares all four Lungau mountains.
