Sports, romance, and adventure – the Ötztal winter wonderland has to offer many different facets also off the piste. Why not try cross-country skiing? It provides the perfect winter workout, training over 90 % of your body’s muscles while treating you to fascinating impressions of the Alpine Ötztal setting. A little less demanding, yet equally enticing is winter hiking and snowshoeing on over 250 kilometres of well-signposted hiking trails that take you through the entire Ötztal. Nevertheless, a winter break in Tyrol is not complete without a fun tobogganing adventure. Tobogganing is best enjoyed with the entire family or a large group of friends. Hike to your starting point at night to combine tobogganing fun with a traditional rest at one of our rustic mountain huts, before making your way down to the valley. The perfect spot to explore tobogganing, hiking, and ice skating in the Ötztal is the charming winterscape surrounding Lake Piburg.
