A wooden post stands in the middle of the ski slope adorned¹ with signs pointing in every direction surrounded by a group of skiers pointing left and right. Eventually one of them says "we have to go this way", and they make their way to various parts of the ski resort on the Wilder Kaiser slope in Brixental in Austria.

The resort's main claim to fame is that it is the largest contiguous ski area in Austria. Everything that is not forest or rock belongs to the ski pistes, so the resort's numerous sign posts have an important function to play.

Wilder Kaiser consists of six individual ski areas that are so well connected that every slope can be reached by ski or snowboard.

Many of the ski slopes run through wooded areas and have plenty of curves, giving you the feeling of passing along a forest path.

The atmosphere in Wilder Kaiser is laid back and friendly and young skiers are especially welcome.

"If you're looking for big après ski parties this is the wrong place," says Gerhard Told, manager of a ski school in Scheffau.

The same applies to skiers who want a challenge－there are 120 kilometers of red slopes, 108 blue but only 22 kilometers of the difficult category black slopes - and most of them are relatively² easy.
