Winter holidays beyond the slopes
Beyond the ski slopes, you’ll find the best conditions for winter hiking, cross-country skiing, tobogganing or ski touring. Pristine nature, cosy alpine huts and a wide range of winter activities open up many possibilities: over 100 km of cross-country skiing trails, perfectly groomed winter hiking trails, several piste ski tours and (guided) off-piste ski tours add variety to your winter holiday.
The Köhlergraben natural toboggan run in Zell am See leads through the Schmittental valley; it’s about 1 km long and suitable for children. You’ll find other toboggan runs nearby, including the all-season Maisiflitzer toboggan run. When there is a lot of fresh snow, put on snowshoes and go on a snowshoe hike – on your own or with a guide – into the untouched winter landscape, through the forests, and onwards to vantage points.
