The slopes here are quite cool and often bitten, so these places are popular with extremals.

Wildschonau enjoys a reputation for newcomers, but purely "blue" and "Green" Trasa can only be found on the lower slopes from Niderau and Obera, plus a pair of traverses between Affa and Mulhal. The upper sections in the overwhelming majority "Red" (except for two "blue" Trails on the ridge of Marcbakhyocha) and "Black". Oriental slopes of the Shazberg and at all "Pure red", and the longest highway of this level (more precisely – the bunch of the tracks) stretches here as much as 4 km – at the same time it is the greatest – more than 100 meters along the entire length. At the same time, three tracks are adapted for riding in the dark.

In general, the rest infrastructure is still developing and is not yet able to compete with the nearby resorts of the Wilder Kaiser region, but due to the orientation of Wildshunau on family vacation, there is practically no lack of family entertainment. Especially since prices are noticeably lower here than in Hopfartarta or Kitzbühel.
