Simonhöhe
The Simonhöhe is a ski area in the municipality of Sankt Urban (Federal State of Carinthia ) with around 13 kilometers of slopes, some of which are artificially snowed and avalanche-proof.
Because of its central location and accessibility, the Simonhöhe is also popular with local skiers and snowboarders.
In March 2010, the operating company had to file for bankruptcy due to bad investments and some winters with little snow. In the following August, the compulsory settlement was accepted after the state of Carinthia took over the majority of the liabilities. The continued existence for the coming years is assured, but the only four-seater chairlift (Hirschkogellift) had to be dismantled and sold.
