TOLLS? Is it accurate that, if
you want to explore the surrounding area by car, you always have to pay when
you drive down and when you return again later??

In other ski areas, I see snowcats in operation all
day long. In 12 days here, I encountered a snowcat on the Lawinenstein just one
time, that seems to me to be too little!
<p>Our pistes are all groomed in the evening, even
if it is snowing, as well as in the morning after around 4 AM until the lifts
begin to run and sometimes for approximately one hour afterwards. While the
pistes are being used by skiers, we are unable to drive on the pistes because,
in years past, there have been a number of accidents involving collisions
between skiers or snowboarders and piste maintenance equipment. Two years ago,
for example, a skier in Wagrain was actually killed in such an incident! That
said, daytime skiers will occasionally have to do their part to “plow” the freshly
fallen new snow. Thanks for understanding!</p>

A new feeder lift from the Hollhaus car park is
intended to provide a quick way to reach the pistes. Where exactly does it go?
<p>The new, longer lift replaces the old “N” lift
(see piste map) running from the Hollhaus car park to the piste (not to the actual Hollhaus).</p>

I’ve heard that the Krallersee run is now going
to be groomed. But isn’t it the many variant options that make the new Tauplitz
so attractive?
<p>1) Of course, most of the Krallersee eastern slope will remain variant
terrain as it has always been, also featuring plenty of moguls. An area of
roughly 15 m in width will be groomed when the snow conditions are right and
when the entire Krallersee eastern slope is several hundred meters wide. In
powder snow conditions (deep snow), it will be left as is for skiers’ enjoyment
and will not be groomed immediately. I think we have created an opportunity for
all guests to discover the skiing experience they are personally looking for. </p>
<p>2) By removing the Krallersee tow lift we have gained additional space for
skiing and turned the area along the former lift line into a ski run, though in
deep-snow conditions we initially leave the snow untouched for the pure joys of
terrain skiing; Only when this area is chewed up will we move in with our
winches and equipment. In doing so, we are consistent with the tried-and-true
approach that has been used on the Schneiderkogel. Your comment pleased us
immensely, since it draws attention to the natural merits of Die Tauplitz. There
is barely a slope in the Eastern Alps that can measure up with the Krallersee eastern
slope in terms of sporting challenges. The rest of the mountainside away from
the newly adapted former lift line will continue to be left ungroomed, as our
operations manager Mr. Huber has already pointed out. Our tip: Take a fresh new
look at the Krallersee eastern slope! In deep snow, this piste isn’t groomed,
with skiers and boarders left to their own devices. The entire width of the Krallersee
eastern slope is open to skiers (several hundred meters), and only an area 20 m
wide will ever be groomed to create piste conditions, the rest remaining a paradise
of undulating terrain. </p>

Isn’t it a bit risky to do as you have done and
promote skiing away from the pistes? Does anybody inspect the terrain – and
what if something happens?
<p>It is certainly no hidden secret that DIE
TAUPLITZ - a ski area above the tree line – features a very large number of
variety-packed routes away from the pistes. TERRAIN ROUTES AREN’T REGULAR
PISTES that have to be maintained, inspected and monitored; Terrain skiers enjoy
their adventures at their own risk! Everybody knows that, and that’s why we don’t
supply any further information on our website.</p>

How do you reach the alpine cross-country trails?
<p>You can reach the alpine cross-country trail
either via the 10 km long Tauplitzalm Alpine Road (a toll road) via Bad
Mitterndorf, with trail access located right next to the car park at 1600 m
above sea level, or by riding up 2 sections of the <a href="/en/preise/berg-und-talfahrt-winter.php" target="box" title="Prices for round-trip lift rides on Die Tauplitz" >quad chairlift</a>
(equipped with all-weather bubbles, 4 km long)
from the village of Tauplitz, with trail access in this case near the mountain
terminal at 1650 m. The <a href="/en/winter/langlaufen.php#anchor_df1b1ed6_Zwei-Optionen-stehen-zur-Wahl" target="box" title="Cross-country skiing, beautiful trails, abundant sunshine in Bad Mitterndorf & Tauplitzalm" >alpine trail</a> itself is gently undulating with practically no
major climbs or downhills, partially through larch forest and partially through
open terrain across the Tauplitzalm high plateau. Simply give it a try and
enjoy nature!</p>

Are there plans to provide a better link to the
valley run that drops down to Tauplitz? Actually, the piste as far as the
mid-station would be a great skiing option if it weren’t for the ski path that
seems to make things so much harder. Isn’t there a better way to provide a
connection?
<p>Actually, your best option is to take the No. 1 piste
via the Tauplitz N run, at which point you are only a few steps away. It is useful
to head for the piste that begins at the mountain terminal of the Lärchkogellift.
The ski path beginning at the mountain terminal of the Tauplitz Lift / Section
II is not always recommended. Which is why it isn’t emphasized on our piste
map. In addition, there is another route (not a regular piste) alongside a
drainage channel, that we might potentially develop as another ski run.</p>

What are snow conditions like at the beginning of April?
<p>A normal winter at the Tauplitzalm has
approximately 12 to 15 m of precipitation in the form of snow, which then
settles and compacts so that, by the end of March, we have approximately 3.5 to
4 m of snow on the ground. Because of its northerly exposure, large
accumulations of snow are normal at the Tauplitzalm. At the beginning of April,
we can have everything from powder snow to firn conditions. Above elevations of
1500 m, you can count on good <a href="/en/aktuelles/schneehoehen.php" target="box" title="Snow depths in Tauplitz and at the Tauplitzalm">snow conditions</a> until the end of the season.</p>

What are snow conditions like at the beginning of January?
<p>Normally, we have at least 1 m of <a href="/en/aktuelles/schneehoehen.php" target="box" title="Snow depths in Tauplitz and at the Tauplitzalm">snow</a> on the ground in January. Because of our geographic
location on the northern slopes, we regularly get between 12 and 15 m of snow in
a regular winter, which then compacts, allowing us to achieve a total snow depth
of roughly 4 m. </p>

Where is the Funpark?
<p>We listened to what the local boarders had to
say, since they prefer to make use of the many natural kickers and runs. Just
take a look at the many possibilities you have, starting with<span id="wElementToSetCaretAfterPaste"></span> <a href="/en/ski/freeriden.php" title="Freeriding on Die Tauplitz - plenty of fresh powder for your lines " >freeriding</a>.</p>

Where is the Grafenwiesenlift?
<p>The Grafenwiesenlift is in Tauplitz ca. 500 m above the valley station
of the quad chairlift, right next to Tauplitz Piste No. 1. It is clearly shown
on the middle panorama<span id="wElementToSetCaretAfterPaste"></span>!</p>
