Off-piste
in the mountains
Ski touring & snowshoeing
The new craze in the Alps is ski touring. Special skis with skins for a good grip uphill and special ski boots: that’s all you need, and you’re perfectly equipped for ski touring on your winter holiday in Pinzgau. Explore the Salzburg and Tirol mountains almost like you would in summer – except you’re on skis. Scale a 3,000 m-plus peak in the Hohe Tauern or take it easier on a hut-to-hut tour – the choice is yours. Ski touring is strenuous, but definitely worth the effort (and a try). Snowshoeing is another way to enjoy the untouched winter landscape. Discover forests blanketed in white and animal tracks that disappear into the snow.
Tobogganing fun
Toboggan run in Wald: The short toboggan run at Finkenhof in Wald is partly floodlit in the evening until 8.00 p.m. and its gentle gradient makes it perfect for young tobogganers.
Toboggan run in Königsleiten: The start of the toboggan run is behind the Ursprungs Panorama Hotel. Whizz through the romantic snow-covered landscape 950 m down to Alte Gerlosstraße, the B 165 road.
