Filzmoos in Ski amadé: Lifts, Pistes and Pass Guide

By Best:in Editorial Team · Updated September 2026

Filzmoos is a small Salzburger Land ski area inside Ski amadé, so one pass covers its 20 kilometres of local piste plus up to 760 kilometres across 25 resorts. As of September 2026, Ski amadé lists the 2026/27 multi-day season from 27 November 2026, with peak-season validity from 19 December 2026 to 26 March 2027. Expect quiet home slopes and bigger day trips to Schladming, Zauchensee or Snow Space Salzburg.

Is Filzmoos part of Ski amadé?

Yes. Filzmoos sits in the Pongau district of Salzburger Land and is listed by Ski amadé under the 12 Peaks Ski Region, the group formerly marketed as the Salzburger Sportwelt. Ski amadé states that a single pass covers up to 760 kilometres of slopes, up to 260 lifts and 25 ski resorts in five regions. The keycard you scan at the Papagenobahn in Filzmoos therefore also works on the Planai gondola in Schladming and on the lifts in Zauchensee.

The local area is deliberately small. Skiresort.info records 20 kilometres of piste served by 8 lifts, between 970 and 1,591 metres. The village lies at 1,057 metres, about 60 kilometres south of the city of Salzburg. The pass does the heavy lifting; the village supplies a quiet base.

What is the skiing in Filzmoos actually like?

The area covers two flanks of one high valley. To the south, the 6-seat Papagenobahn gondola climbs towards the Roßbrand; to the north, the 4-seat Großbergbahn chairlift serves the Großberg. The two sides are joined in the village by a road crossing and a platter lift, which is the one weak point of the layout. A directly connected sector around Neuberg is served by a modern 6-seat chairlift with weather protection hoods plus drag lifts.

Across all 8 lifts the vertical runs from 970 to 1,591 metres, so this is a low area by Pongau standards. Skiresort.info notes that queues are rare. The Großberg carries the Michaela-Kirchgasser FIS race run for anyone who wants a timed descent. The separate Rettenegg drag lift is not connected to the main area and serves an extra practice slope, and ski schools run their own conveyor belts near the village.

How do you plan a Filzmoos ski week on the Ski amadé pass?

  1. Check the 2026/27 season dates first

    Ski amadé multi-day tickets for 2026/27 are priced in two bands. The lower band runs from the season start on 27 November 2026 until 18 December 2026, and again from 27 March 2027 to the end of the season. Peak season runs from 19 December 2026 to 26 March 2027. Filzmoos is a low area at 970 to 1,591 metres, so the December and April shoulders carry more snow risk here than in Zauchensee, which tops out at 2,176 metres.

  2. Buy online, and pick the right ticket length

    Ski amadé opened online sales of 2026/27 multi-day tickets on 31 August 2026 and applies an Online Early Booking Bonus, where the price varies by date of purchase and demand. One detail catches people out: because of partial lift operation, day tickets are cheaper than multi-day tickets until 10 December 2026 and again from 5 April 2027. A cancellation guarantee can be added for EUR 3.00 per day and ski pass, and it must be booked at purchase.

  3. Get the age bands right before you check out

    Ski amadé partners sort tickets by birth year rather than by age on the day. For 2026/27 the bands are adult born 2007 or earlier, youth born 2008 to 2010, child born 2011 to 2020 and Minicard born 2021 or later. Toddlers born in 2021 or later ski free, but the free ticket is issued at a lift ticket office against a photo and ID and is not sold online. Budget an extra 15 minutes on arrival day for that counter visit.

  4. Plan two or three days away from the home area

    A week on 20 kilometres of piste is thin for a confident intermediate. The same pass opens the Schladminger 4-Berge-Skischaukel with 123 kilometres, 43 lifts and 56 mountain huts, and the 12 Peaks Ski Region link from Zauchensee to Alpendorf with 210 kilometres. Zauchensee-Flachauwinkl alone has 45 kilometres and 16 lifts on three mountains. Check ski bus timetables with the Filzmoos tourist office at Dorfstraße 12 before committing to a car-free trip.

What does the Ski amadé lift pass cost for 2026/27?

As of 15 September 2026, Ski amadé had not published full 2026/27 day-ticket prices on its tickets pages, stating only that prices and details would follow. Anything quoted elsewhere for this season should be treated as an estimate until the official tariff appears. What is fixed are the validity windows: 27 November 2026 to 18 December 2026 and 27 March 2027 onwards at low-season rates, with 19 December 2026 to 26 March 2027 at peak rates.

Season-pass buyers have three products. The ALL-IN Card White covers up to 760 kilometres and 260 lifts in winter, the ALL-IN Card Gold is valid year round including summer lifts, and the SuperSkiCard extends coverage to 2,815 kilometres across 22 ski regions. For a one-week Filzmoos stay, a multi-day Ski amadé ticket is the normal choice, since the local area alone cannot fill six days.

Who should base in Filzmoos, and who should look elsewhere?

Filzmoos suits beginners, families and skiers who value short lift lines over piste mileage. Nursery terrain sits beside the village at 1,057 metres, the Neuberg chair has weather hoods for cold days, and the area is graded as a strong performer among Ski amadé areas under 20 piste kilometres. Non-skiers get a quiet village rather than a lift-station town.

Skiers who want 100 kilometres a day from the door should base in Schladming, Flachau or Wagrain instead, where the terrain is lift-linked without driving. Late-season visitors should note the altitude gap: 1,591 metres at the top in Filzmoos against 2,176 metres in Zauchensee. Outside winter, the Papagenobahn runs from 22 September to 17 October 2026 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 09:00 to 16:30.
