The Kreischberg high-altitude trail runs at an altitude of 1,800 meters. Of course, it impresses with its guaranteed snow, but also with the romantic route through the pine forest.

Enjoy the fantastic altitude (1,700m above sea level) and glide on the 2.5km long cross-country ski trail in classic or skating style through the beautiful pine forests on the Kreischberg.
