Winter active holiday in Gastein

This is how varied winter in Salzburg can be

 

Winter in Gastein valley comes with a multifaceted activity program, also beyond the slopes. All around the B&B „Haus Schafflinger“, you can decide how active a day you want to have every day anew – a day full of moving about or rather quiet and relaxed. By yourself or with a professional guide. Forgetting the hustle and bustle comes easy when hiking through the snow-covered winter scenery, ice skating, cross-country skiing, tobogganing or during a romantic sleigh ride.

Cross country skiing

Cross-country skiing isn’t just fun, that outdoor exercise close to nature is healthy and makes you happy. With over 45 kilometers of tracked, superbly maintained trails, Gastein is a paradise for cross country skiers. The altitude runs in Sportgastein in particular benefit from the region’s guaranteed snow. In Bad Hofgastein there is a snow machine track with flood light in the Kurpark of Bad Hofgastein. It is open every day until 10 pm.
Hint: every WE and THU sampler course for beginners (min. participation: 4 pers., registration required).
