Advanced riders will find one or two challenges here with most of the on-piste action being found on Schmittenhöhe above Zell am See. There are several black runs on offer, some sporting testing bumps while others are good for a high speed charge. Off-piste as mentioned above is restricted in some sectors due to a local conservation policy put in place to protect the forests however, with the appropriate local knowledge this is not a problem. On the Kitzsteinhorn above Kaprun there are five marked freeride itineraries, the longest being the 2800 meter West Side Story. All are freely accessible although be warned as they are not monitored by ski patrol. If in doubt local mountain or freeride guides could be the solution. Of course a guide will be able to introduce you to much more than the tourist trails.
