Best Ski amadé Piste Maps: 760 km, 270 Lifts

The official web map is the only resource that plots the whole alliance in one place: 760 km of piste, 270 lifts, about 260 huts and 25 resorts across five regions. Run grading is broken out as 145 blue, 181 red and 30 black. Each resort also gets its own sub-map with lifts, slopes and huts, so you can move from network overview to a single valley without leaving skiamade.com.

Best for: Planning the whole network

Free on iOS and Android, the app carries photorealistic 3D piste maps for the same 25 resorts, plus live status for lifts and slopes, weather and webcams. Routing works A to B inside a ski area, and the piste tracker logs the day by GPS into a diary. The Friend Tracker puts connected friends onto the 3D map, which is the practical reason families install it before arrival.

Best for: Live use on the mountain

The sharpest map for the Styrian end of the alliance. It covers the 4-Berge-Skischaukel linking Hauser Kaibling, Planai, Hochwurzen and Reiteralm: 123 km of piste, a 750 to 2,015 metre span and a 7.7 km longest run. The interactive version uses real photo material, and Skiline integration returns vertical metres, lift rides and piste kilometres after skiing. Pass validity also extends to Dachstein Glacier, Ramsau, Galsterberg and Fageralm.

Best for: Schladming and the four mountains

Gasteinertal Tourismus maps the valley's four ski areas separately: Schlossalm-Angertal-Stubnerkogel, Sportgastein, Graukogel and Dorfgastein. That split matters, because only two of them form the valley's largest connected area, and the map makes the gaps obvious. Over 200 km of slopes are covered, with lift-by-lift opening periods and revision closure dates published alongside. Use it with the network map rather than instead of it.

Best for: Gastein valley logistics

The 3D panorama is the orientation layer of the official map, showing all pistes and lifts in the alliance as a single terrain view. It is embedded on every resort piste map page on skiamade.com, from Sportgastein to Fageralm and Ramsau am Dachstein. The operator recommends recent Chrome or Firefox builds, which makes it a desktop planning tool rather than something to load on a cold phone at the top of a lift.

Best for: Understanding the terrain layout

A third-party overview that restates the network figures in English with booking context: 760 km of piste, around 270 lifts, 25 ski areas and terrain from 730 metres to just above 2,000 metres. It groups the alliance into five valleys and lists eleven resorts bookable on its own platform. Useful for a quick read of scale and season length (early December to mid-April), weaker for live conditions.
