Lofer sits in the Salzburg Pinzgau between the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge, with the skiing spread across the gentle Loferer Alm plateau above the village. The slopes are almost entirely easy - seven in ten are blue - and the resort is deliberately built for families, with a covered conveyor for children and heated chairlifts with bubbles. The valley run from Schönbühel down to Lofer itself adds up to nine kilometres. The Schwarzeck viewpoint gives a full 360-degree panorama.

What visitors say about the resort

Almenwelt Lofer is praised as a base for families and beginners: the area is small enough to take in at a glance, the pistes are kept in good order and the lifts get credit, above all the covered magic carpet for the youngest skiers. The progression works, with something from the nursery slope upwards for each level. Huts come up again and again in reviews - they are well spread around the mountain, each with a sun terrace and an Alpine panorama, serving both table and self-service food at prices people call fair.

Confident and advanced skiers say they run out of things to do quickly, and that is the main complaint: black runs are barely present and the two small parks add little variety. Apres-ski is essentially absent, and reviewers put it bluntly - if you want evening life and demanding terrain, go somewhere else.
