Altenmarkt-Zauchensee: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the spa in the ski village?
Yes. Therme Amadé stands in the valley town of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee itself, so a non-skier does not need transport, while the ski lifts at Zauchensee are a short drive up the road.
Which ski pass applies?
Skiing from Altenmarkt-Zauchensee runs on the Ski amadé pass, which is the largest ski alliance in Austria and also covers Gastein, Schladming and Flachau on the same ticket.
What are the spa hours?
Erlebnis-Therme Amadé in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee opens daily from 9am to 10pm, which gives a non-skier an evening slot after the lifts close as well as full days.
Is it better for couples or families?
Altenmarkt-Zauchensee leans family, because its thermal bath includes three slides and a large pool area rather than a quiet adults-only concept, although a sauna landscape is part of the complex.
When do the World Cup races take place?
Zauchensee in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee stages women's Audi FIS Ski World Cup downhill and super-G races in January, which fills accommodation in the valley for that weekend.
