Absolut Park

The Absolut Park

Europe´s longest snow park and certainly one its most infamous. The Snow Park has been run under professional supervision for 12 years now. Indeed, eight full-time shapers are employed to take care of the parks on Shuttleberg Mountain. The Park’s own piste machine is used to prepare the slope style obstacles and for the half-pipe and Super Pipe we have a special 400 hp snow groomer with a cable winch and two pipe-groomers.

The Park itself is made up of four different areas, which shredders can combine in different ways making a multitude of different lines possible. 

1 Kicker Line

In the upper section you’ll find the Kicker Line and the world famous Wall Ride. This is where the Quiksilver Spring Battle, Austria’s most famous mountain snowboard contest, takes place. If you’d like to see the show, then you should be Flachauwinkl from 28th to 31st March. 

2 Rail Line

The next section of the Park is the rail line; here jibbers will find a large choice of over 10 rails and boxes. The creativity of the Shape Crew and their affiliation with the scene means that new and amusing obstacles are constantly being developed and built.

3 Half-Pipe

The third section is the 100-metre long half-pipe with 4 metre high walls. Our “small” pipe is ideal for anyone who wants to ride an easy pipe or for those wanting to try out the sport. 

4 Jib Park

The last section of the Absolut Park is the jib park. This is entirely devoted to obstacles that are fun. At the end of the Park is the Chill House with a Spine mini-ramp (so don’t forget your skateboard), boulder wall, video screens showing the latest action sport movies and a homely Chill area. A real eye catcher in the Chill House is the huge Graffiti by the Permanent Unit from Graz (www.permanent-unit.com). 

But it’s not just the Parks which make Shuttleberg such a brilliant snowboard and free-ski mountain, the backcountry with its countless kicker spots is also fantastic. Film and photo crews from all over the world pilger to Flachauwinkl every winter, in order to use the great landscape as a backdrop. The crews that appreciate the great setting are, among others: Pirates Movie Production, Absinthe, Isen Seven, Pickings Fam, Head Bud and Aestivation. In current productions you can see loads of shots taken on Shuttleberg Mountain and a number of crews have already applied to shoot here again this winter.
