That same year, on **December 21**, the first lifts went into operation: the **Pichl double chairlift** and the **Reiteralm II T-bar lift**. This laid the foundation for an impressive development. The Reiteralm was quick to recognize the importance of quality and further development. In**1985**, the first snowmaking system was built - at that time to protect critical areas. Today, around 40 years later, the Reiteralm can boast one of the most modern and efficient snowmaking systems, with which **100% of the slopes** can be **covered with artificial snow**.

Today, the **Reiteralm** boasts high-performance gondola and chairlifts that guarantee maximum comfort and efficiency. At the same time, the range of pistes has grown steadily - with a particular focus on **width**, **snow safety** and perfect **grooming**. Since the very beginning, slope grooming has been a key quality factor. Now, modern snow groomers with winch technology ensure the best possible conditions - daily, reliably and at World Cup level. The **Reiteralm** is establishing itself as a sporty, ambitious ski mountain, which inspires not only leisure guests but also **international national ski teams**. The Reiteralm has been the **official training mountain** for **the World Cup elite** for many years - a clear sign of quality.

With its sunny location, wide pistes and magnificent views of the Dachstein massif, the Fageralm is particularly popular with families and leisure skiers. In December **2025**, the Fageralm will open with a **new, modern "Fageralmbahn" gondola lift -**for even more comfort and an improved skiing experience for the whole family. Today, the **Reiteralm** & **Fageralm** are part of the **Schladming-Dachstein** vacation region and integrated into the **Ski amadé ski association**, which has been one of the largest ski areas in Europe with over **760 kilometers of pistes** since it was founded in **2000**. With over five decades of experience, a strong team and the will to develop further, we continue to invest consistently in quality, sustainability and innovation. Together with our partners, we are actively shaping winter and summer tourism - and look forward to many more successful years.
