Guga Hö morning skiing at Ötscher

Be the first on the slopes! Exclusive skiing pleasure on the Mostviertel mountains.

Fancy an unforgettable winter experience in the Mostviertel Alps? Already in the early morning hours, early risers are the first to make their turns on the freshly prepared slopes. A culinary treat in the truest sense of the word is ready at the hut brunch with the best view. "Guga hö" is the name of the exclusive ski pleasure offer for early birds on the slopes - named after the Mostviertel dialect expression for "wide awake".

Exclusive. Peaceful. Unforgettable.
With Guga Hö early-morning skiing at Ötscher, early risers experience winter at its purest: as the mountain slowly awakens, the slopes are still untouched and the first rays of sunlight bathe the terrain around Ötscher in a soft glow.

First on the slopes – Ötscher all to yourselves

“Guga hö” means wide awake in the Mostviertel dialect – and that’s exactly how it feels when you arrive at the valley station in Lackenhof early in the morning, holding a hot cup of tea while the mountain still rests in silence.

The chairlift takes you up into the emerging day. Beneath you: freshly groomed, untouched slopes. At the top, you breathe in the crisp morning air, adjust your goggles – and carve the very first turns of the day into pristine snow. Accompanied by an experienced ski guide, you discover Ötscher’s most beautiful runs and scenic viewpoints – places where the view stretches far across the Mostviertel Alps and the day truly begins.

A culinary stop: hut brunch with a view

After the exclusive skiing experience, a well-earned highlight awaits: a Mostviertel hut brunch. Inside, the fireplace crackles warmly, pear sparkling wine fizzes in the glass and regional delicacies are served. The hut host presents local specialties – along with a story or two from the mountain.

Re-energised, you can head back onto the slopes or settle into a deck chair to soak up the sun and enjoy the sweeping views over the Mostviertel.
