Piste map of Rauris
The piste map of Rauris shows the Rauriser Hochalmbahnen, a quiet, family-friendly ski area within the Hohe Tauern National Park with 33 km of pistes and 12 lifts. The map covers everything from the old gold-mining village at 948 metres up to the Hochalm at 2 200 metres. What stands out on the map are the wide, gentle beginner pistes in the lower part of the valley, which have made Rauris one of Austria's best resorts for children and beginners. Higher up, the map shows longer red runs and panoramic pistes with sweeping views over the Hohe Tauern National Park and the peaks surrounding it. The modern gondola from the village links the valley station with the higher skiing sectors and is clearly visible in the central part of the map.

How to ski in Rauris
Rauris is a ski area where beginners and families have a clearly defined home close to the village. The wide, easy runs lie in the lower part of the valley, just above the old gold-mining village at 948 metres, and are easily reached via the modern gondola that runs straight up from the valley station. The terrain here is calm and easy to take in, which makes it simple to practise without crossing faster traffic coming down from higher up.
The higher you go, the more demanding the terrain becomes. Above the mid-stations, longer red runs and panoramic pistes open up, stretching towards the Hochalm at 2 200 metres, with views across the Hohe Tauern National Park. It is in these upper sections of the map that the gradient steepens and the pistes narrow, making them best suited to skiers who already feel confident on their skis.
With 33 kilometres of pistes and 12 lifts, the network is compact and easy to cover in a day. The gondola acts as the backbone of the ski area, linking the valley station, the sectors in between and the top, so you can move up and down without unnecessary detours. That means you have time to try both the family pistes lower down and the panoramic runs higher up on the same day.
One practical tip: the lower pistes near the village sit at a lower altitude and can turn soft and heavy later in the day once the sun has warmed the snow, while the higher slopes towards the Hochalm hold their snow quality better later into the season thanks to the vertical drop up to 2 200 metres. It is worth planning the steep panoramic pistes for the morning if you want a firmer surface.
