About Filzmoos
Filzmoos has 20 km of local pistes and nine lifts, yet it belongs to Ski Amadé, so the question of how much skiing is available has two answers depending on how far you are willing to travel.
Resort Highlights
Small slopes, big network
Filzmoos has 20 km of local pistes and nine lifts, yet it belongs to Ski Amadé, so the question of how much skiing is available has two answers depending on how far you are willing to travel. The town itself is in the district of St. Johann im Pongau in the state of Salzburg, roughly 1 km above sea level, and it lives from tourism: skiing in winter, hiking in summer.
The skiing
Locally, the lifts run from 1,057 m to a top station at 1,600 m, a little over 500 m of vertical. Nine lifts for 20 km is a very dense arrangement, which means short lifts, short runs and a hill where nothing is far from anything else. It is the kind of area where a group of mixed abilities can regroup easily and where a day passes in laps rather than expeditions.
The altitude is modest and the local area is not flagged as snow-sure, so the top at 1,600 m is a limit worth knowing. What Filzmoos offers in exchange is the Ski Amadé membership: the local hill for easy days and a much larger network within reach for the rest. Membership matters more for a small resort than for a large one. A visitor based in Filzmoos gets a quiet home hill at around 1,000 m and, on the same network, access to terrain on a completely different scale. That combination, small village and big network, is what makes Filzmoos a sensible base rather than a compromise. Our data does not break the 20 km down by difficulty.
Snowballs and summer
Since 2024, Filzmoos has been home to the International Austrian Yukigassen Championships, a competitive snowball-fighting event that sits comfortably with the town’s traditional-charm flag: this is a place that takes its winter seriously without taking itself too seriously. The scenic-views flag rounds out the picture. In summer the same slopes and paths are given over to hiking, the town’s second economic pillar.
The town’s size and altitude also shape the atmosphere. At roughly 1,000 m with nine lifts, Filzmoos is not a place where the skiing dominates the streets; it is a Salzburg town that happens to have a ski hill, and the traditional-charm flag in our data reflects that balance.
Practical
Salzburg is the nearest airport, roughly 56 km away as the crow flies. The season runs from December to April. Local lift information is on the official website.
