In the winter the Rax - additional to the aerial ropeway - offers a small however skiing area quite snow-safe for down-Austrian conditions by a Schlepplift which was because of the high plateau. The departures in the skiing area exhibit the largest difference in height of all down-Austrian skiing areas, whereby it concerns thereby no prepared runways. There are prepared runways only along the Schleppliftes. Further routes of the mountain station offer possibilities for the ski route going in a relatively avalanche-safe area over the high plateau.
