Karthalle Ebensee

In Ebensee, by the Traunsee in the Salzkammergut, the Karthalle lays out an indoor karting track billed as one of the longest in Austria. You drive Sodi SR5 karts with four-stroke engines of two hundred cubic centimetres, fitted with brake lights and safety systems suited to beginners. Modern timing lets you compare times, and a friendly bistro goes with the breaks between sessions.

The fully indoor track runs in all weather, a real asset in a mountain region where the weather changes fast. People come with family, friends or in a group, to drive at their own pace or battle on the clock, beginners and regulars alike. It is an easy-going, well-equipped sporting outing, open all year round.

Ebensee lies at the southern tip of the Traunsee, one of the loveliest lakes of the Salzkammergut, at the foot of the Höllengebirge and the Feuerkogel served by a cable car. The region, between lakes and mountains, is prized for swimming, hiking and skiing. The Karthalle adds a dose of indoor motorsport, welcome for an active outing when the weather turns. Billed as one of the longest indoor tracks in the country, the Karthalle in Ebensee relies on Sodi karts fitted with braking-assist systems that reassure beginners, and its spot by the Traunsee makes it a ready-made fallback on rainy or snowy days, frequent in this Salzkammergut valley.
