Zettersfeld, Ski resort in Thurn and Nußdorf-Debant, Austria
Zettersfeld is a ski resort in the Tyrolean Alps with runs for different skill levels. The terrain includes several lift systems and varied slopes that wind down the mountainside.
The resort took shape when the first lift systems were built and grew into a modern winter sports destination. It now holds the Tyrolean Piste Seal of Quality, marking its standards.
The ski area is split between the municipalities of Thurn in the west and Nussdorf-Debant in the east, below the Schleinitz. The Lienzer Bergbahnen operate the lifts, and the Lienzer Dolomiten tourism association and the city of Lienz together hold almost 95% of the operating company. The Faschingalm sector has its own easy slope and, since 2008, the red Peheimabfahrt run down to the valley station.
The Zettersfeld cable car runs from the valley up to 1816 m, and from there all mountain lifts except the Faschingalm six-seater chairlift can be reached. The highest point is the Schoberköpfl at 2249 m. About 90% of the pistes have snowmaking, so skiing is possible even in winters with little snow. The lifts run in both summer and winter seasons.
