Winter experiences away from the piste

Pure nature at 1,800 metres

The Nockberge mountains also show their gentle side away from the piste: on snowshoes or touring skis through the snow-covered landscape, gliding along the cross-country ski trail or speeding down the toboggan run. Here you can enjoy winter in all its diversity: relaxed, authentic and close to nature.
