Winter Walking-Tours
What could be nicer than exploring the idyllic, snow-covered winter landscape of the Hohe Tauern National Park on a winter walking-tour? Whether you prefer snowshoes, or not: you will surely never get bored on our richly varied hiking routes.
Horse-drawn carriage rides
The most romantic way of experiencing the National Park winter. Let yourself be transported through snow-covered valleys in a horse-drawn sleigh. Wrap yourself in a warm blanket and just rejoice in the wonderful winter landscape.
Cross-country skiing in the National Park
Places that still have a proper winter are super for indulging a passion for cross-country skiing, because they are snow-reliable. In the Hohe Tauern National Park Carinthia, friends of this Nordic ski sport are spoilt for choice with superbly maintained cross-country ski runs totalling more than 200km in length.
Ski tours in the National Park
As soon as the mountain slopes are covered with the first snow in late autumn, a kind of tranquillity unusual for today’s hectic times takes possession of the Hohe Tauern. Everybody who then ascends a mountain using only his/her own muscle power, without the help of cable cars or mountain railways and away from the bustle of the pistes, will discover a magic world of sparkling nature – White Spirit, the hidden ski tour paradise of the Eastern Alps!
