St. Wolfgang is a beginner's paradise. The Postalm has an extensive range of easy slopes on which to gain confidence (on occasion, lessons may also be taken on the Puchberg nursery slopes just outside St. Wolfgang). Complete novices will enjoy learning with our special 'First Time’ packages.

The gentle terrain at Postalm provides a perfect introduction to snowboarding. Those looking for a greater challenge should head for Gosau, where there is a park and pipe to play in!
