Skilift Rettenbach: Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the biggest ski area in Burgenland?

By slope length and altitude, yes. Skilift Rettenbach offers 0.5 km of piste between 458 m and 540 m, and it carries two lifts, more than any other area in the state.

What kind of lifts are there?

Skilift Rettenbach uses two rope tows, the second of them built in 2004. Rope tows require skiers to hold on rather than sit, so small children usually need help on the first rides.

When is it open?

Published hours for Skilift Rettenbach are 09:00 to 16:30 at weekends and during holiday periods, subject to snow. Prices and current conditions are listed on the operator's own website rather than a national portal.

Can you use the hill in summer?

Yes. Skilift Rettenbach runs grass skiing on the same slope outside the winter season, which makes it a year-round site rather than a purely winter facility.

How far is it from Bernstein?

Skilift Rettenbach sits 2.3 km from the centre of Bernstein in the District of Oberwart. The nearest larger towns for accommodation are Oberwart and Pinkafeld.
