Cross-Country skiing Altaussee

Altaussee

As one of the four cross-country skiing centers in the Ausseerland Salzkammergut, Altaussee at the foot of the Loser mountain delights with its very own winter magic. Due to the high altitude around the Blaa Alm there is a high snow guarantee, which often makes it possible to use the cross-country trails until spring.

Current information

The trails are closed!

There are partially bare spots, in the morning hours it is too icy and by noon there is standing water. For this reason, the trails will no longer be groomed and are closed.

Along the idyllic lakes through the picturesque villages up to the snow-safe mountains, the cross-country ski trails stretch through Ausseerland Salzkammergut. The snow-covered Dachstein massif and the bizarre Tote Gebirge create a magical backdrop for your cross-country skiing holiday. The deep blue Altausseer See, the Loser with its unique panoramic train, and the romantically snowy mountain landscape attract numerous cross-country skiers to Altaussee year after year.

But it’s not just the well-groomed ski trails that make the region so appealing to many sports enthusiasts: the varied winter offerings are also impressive. As one of four cross-country ski centers in Ausseerland Salzkammergut , Altaussee captivates with its unique winter charm. The high elevation ensures a good amount of snowfall, often allowing the trails to be used well into spring. Thus, one moves from hut to hut, passing through one of the most beautiful regions of Styria. In between, the Blaa Alm offers an ideal starting point for many other winter activities.

No matter whether cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, or an extensive winter hike: every athlete will find something enjoyable here. Afterwards, everyone gathers at the alpine hut to enjoy the delicious alpine specialties together.
