Whether on the slopes, cross-country trails, winter walking routes or toboggan runs, winter here always reveals a different side to itself. Between the Hochkar, the Ötscher and the snow-covered valleys, you can look forward to active days, experiences of nature and delightful stops for refreshments.
In winter, the Ybbstal Alps offer plenty of scope for outdoor activities and experiences in nature. Snow-capped peaks, glistening slopes and crisp winter air set the scene for days spent outdoors. Sometimes you’ll hurtle downhill, other times you’ll make your way step by step through the snow or glide across the ice on skates. It is precisely these varied options that make winter in the region so special.
☐ Check the snow report, weather and current conditions
☐ Choose a winter activity: downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, winter walking, snowshoeing, tobogganing, ice skating or ski touring
☐ Pack suitable clothing and equipment
☐ If necessary, check equipment hire options and tickets in advance

☐ Allow time for a stop for refreshments and to sample the local cuisine
