How big is Radstadt?

Radstadt has 350 pistes served by 100 lifts — the most pistes of the 33 resorts we track in Austria.

The lifts run from 858m at the base to 2700m at the top, a vertical of 1842m. Of the 33 resorts we track in Austria, that is the 10th highest, with the 10th biggest vertical.

The base is below 1,000m, so the lowest runs are the first to suffer in a mild spell; the upper mountain is the safer bet early and late in the season.

On those numbers it suits beginners and intermediates.
