Krippenstein Weather Forecast
About
Krippenstein rises above Obertraun in Austria's Salzkammergut, on the Dachstein massif. Seven lifts serve only about 12 km of groomed piste, but the mountain is built for freeriders, with more than 30 km of off-piste routes and an 11 km valley descent dropping roughly 1,500 m to the lake. The Dachstein is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the area markets itself as a free-sports arena rather than a conventional resort.
