Wagrain (in Bavarian: Wågroã) is a market town in the St. Johann im Pongau district in the state of Salzburg in Austria. It is nestled in the valley of the Ski Amade ski rsort, which is a first class holiday resort in north Austria. In the summer the ski lifts transport bikers to the mountains for the summer mountain biking season.
Wagrain is the original home of Atomic Skis, which was founded in 1955 by Alois Rohrmoser, who bought a wheelwright shop, and expanded its production to incude winter sports equipment, such as skis and sleds, using local timber resources and a crew of four craftsmen.[1]
