There are few boarding possibilities at Bruck itself except for complete first timers.
However the nearby Kitzsteinhorn glacier is one of Austria's major 'boarding destinations, with the added attraction of year round opening. If the weather is good you can even hit Lake Zell in the afternoon for a beach party - a regular occurence during the summer. It is extremely boarder-friendly with a permanent halfpipe on the glacier and 'boarder friendly access by cable car, which travels direct to the heart of the action.
Chairlifts take over to serve the rideable terrain itself, the highlight of which is the Langwied sector which has natural half pipes and bumps. Professional 'boarders train here and summer 'boarding camps are organised. There's even a snowboard opening festival sponsored by Intersport which takes place at the end of October.
The Rip Star 'boarding school is one of the world's longest established (founded 1990) teaching snowboarding only (www.ripstar.com). Intersport Bründl at the main lift station offers rentals, sales and service on the glacier itself. The ski school also have 'boarding divisions.
In winter, at neighbouring Zell am See, there's an additional half pipe at the Glocknerwiese and there's plenty of surfing and cruising terrain all around the Region. A test centre provides demo boards on the slopes here.
