Schmittenhöhe

Especially in winter, the local mountain Schmittenhöhe See shows itself from an extremely advantageous side – the snow-white one. On 75 km of optimally groomed slopes, “professionals” and amateur athletes can enjoy the white splendor every day anew.

Kitzsteinhorn

The nearby Kitzsteinhorn glacier area guarantees skiing fun all year round at 3000 meters with a fun park for snowboarders and freestylers.

Ski school

In the ski and snowboard school you can expect well-trained ski instructors for skiers of all levels. Whether in a group or privately, here you can learn and improve your technique.

Horse-drawn sleigh

Enjoy a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through one of the various nature reserves in the region.

Tobogganing

The illuminated toboggan run with a length of 1.5 km passes close to our house. At the start of the toboggan run you will find the rustic forest inn “Köhlergraben”, which is also very inviting for a longer stay. The toboggan run is illuminated, so you can toboggan home in the dark without any worries.

Cross country skiing

As far as the eye can see, the 40 km of cross-country ski trails wind through Zell am See-Kaprun and the neighboring communities. On the Schmitten there is a wonderful high-altitude cross-country ski trail around the Plettsaukopf reservoir – with a view of the entire region!
