Piste map of Heiligenblut
The piste map of Heiligenblut shows how the Großglockner-Heiligenblut ski area spreads out between Schareck and Gjaidtroghöhe, with the village level at 1 288 metres and peaks reaching up towards 2 902 metres. The 11 lifts carry you up to high, open flanks at the foot of the Grossglockner, surrounded by national park scenery. Of the 55 kilometres of piste, intermediate red runs dominate with 34 kilometres, while 20 kilometres of blue suit beginners in the lower sections. Only 1 kilometre of black piste is marked, which suggests that the area's reputation for being challenging rests more on the vast off-piste opportunities beyond the groomed runs than on steep piste options. One unique detail on the map is how the open high-mountain flanks stretch unbroken between the sectors, making it easy to follow the terrain visually from top to valley.

How to ski in Heiligenblut
Beginners and families will find their runs in the lower parts of Heiligenblut, close to the village at 1 288 metres. From here the lift system takes skiers on up towards the open flanks, and the blue runs, which make up 36 per cent of the terrain, lie mainly in these comfortable sections near the valley station.
The more demanding terrain is found higher up, towards Schareck and Gjaidtroghöhe, where red runs dominate with 62 per cent of the 55 kilometres of piste. Black piste is rare, just 2 per cent, but the sweeping high-mountain flanks at the foot of the Grossglockner tempt you off-piste rather than onto steep groomed alternatives.
The 11 lifts link the sectors together so that you can move unbroken from top to valley, with open views the whole way. The vertical drop between village and summit, from 1 288 to 2 902 metres, means a single day is easily enough to cover most of the 55 kilometres without skiing the same piste twice.
A practical tip: in the open high-mountain setting around the national park, the morning is often best for snow quality in the higher sections, before the sun has had time to soften the surface on the south-facing flanks near the top.
