Known as the 'Golden Valley of the Alps,' the Raurisertal still sits on an estimated 120 tons of gold beneath its mountains, and the legacy of centuries of mining is visible everywhere - in the grand tradesmen's houses along the village centre, in the ruins of miners' huts high in the valley, and in the gold-panning sites where visitors can try their luck in the mountain streams. The ski area rises directly from the village on the Hochalm mountain, reaching 2,175m, with 32.5km of pistes served by 10 lifts including three gondolas. Skiing here dates back to 1902, when Wilhelm Ritter von Arlt brought the first skis to Rauris from Scandinavia - making this one of Austria's oldest skiing communities.
The terrain is compact but varied, with 15 runs split across 8 blues, 4 reds, and 3 blacks, and a vertical drop of over 1,200m. The Hochalm slopes are wide, well-groomed, and set against a backdrop of the Goldberg mountain group and the Sonnblick peak (3,106m) that's genuinely breathtaking. Snow-making covers the lower slopes, and the high summit ensures reliable conditions. This isn't a resort for those who need 200km of pistes - it's a resort for those who value scenery, authenticity, and a pace of life that's in tune with the mountains rather than the marketing department. Rauris was also the birthplace of Ulrike Maier, the two-time Super-G World Alpine Ski Champion.
Beyond the ski area, Rauris is extraordinary. The Hohe Tauern National Park wraps around the valley, with bearded vultures soaring above the Kruml Valley, marmots on the high meadows, and a primeval forest at Kolm Saigurn that feels untouched by time. Over 300 natural springs feed the valley's streams and waterfalls. The ancient Hochtor trade route - used by traders carrying salt and wine across the Alps for thousands of years - passes through the Seidlwinkl Valley above the village. The Rauriser Tauernhaus, an inn on this route, has been welcoming travellers since 1491. Between the gold-mining heritage, the national park wildlife, and the genuinely warm hospitality of the valley community, Rauris provides a ski holiday with a depth of experience that few resorts can match.

4.9/5Je réserve habituellement moi-même les vols, les transferts, l'hôtel, la location du matériel de ski et les forfaits ski, mais cette année j'ai utilisé WeSki pour un séjour à Morzine. C'était tellement plus simple. Tout a parfaitement fonctionné - les transferts sont arrivés à l'heure et il y avait beaucoup de retours d'information tout au long du processus, ce qui vous donne confiance que les vacances se dérouleront sans problème.
Un service vraiment utile qui est beaucoup plus facile à utiliser que d'autres sites "tout compris". Il comble parfaitement le fossé entre une agence de voyage et la réservation du séjour par vous-même en ligne. J'utiliserai WeSki chaque fois que j'irai au ski à partir de maintenant.
Nous avons réservé un séjour au ski de dernière minute à Morzine via WeSki. Nous avions envisagé de réserver le séjour nous-mêmes, mais nous n'avons pas pu trouver un prix aussi avantageux que celui proposé par WeSki. L'entreprise a été super et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème du début à la fin. Je passerai certainement de nouveau par eux pour réserver un autre week-end au ski.
Une expérience fluide du début à la fin. Je passais des heures à essayer d'organiser un week-end et j'ai réussi à le faire avec WeSki en quelques minutes et pour le même prix que si je l'avais réservé moi-même. Le vol, le transfert et l'hébergement étaient tous comme prévu et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème.
