Die Tauplitz: Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Die Tauplitz best for?
Die Tauplitz works for families and intermediates who want space rather than steepness: 43 km of piste, a sheltered Kinderland, and treeless plateau slopes that suit early snowboarders. Cross-country skiers get 177 km of trails in the same valley.
What does the Schneebären Card cover?
It is the multi-day pass sold at Die Tauplitz, and it is also valid at Riesneralm, Planneralm, Loser Altaussee and Kaiserau. Together those five areas add up to roughly 131 km of piste plus 5 km of ski routes (checked 14 September 2026).
How do you get up to the ski area by car?
Outside chairlift hours the Tauplitzalm can be reached from Bad Mitterndorf on the Tauplitzalm Alpenstrasse, a toll road. Holders of a valid Die Tauplitz ski pass use the road without paying the toll.
How does it compare with Schladming?
Die Tauplitz has 43 km of piste against 123 km in the Schladming 4-mountain circuit, so it is the quieter, cheaper day out. The trade-off is fewer high-capacity lifts and a shorter maximum vertical.
Is the snow reliable?
The plateau position keeps most of the terrain above the valley inversion layer, and skiresort.info rated Die Tauplitz as its Styrian test winner, citing snow reliability across up to 60 km of marked slopes (checked 14 September 2026).
