[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=""]<\/p>\n

If you prefer to glide at a relaxed, steady pace through the winter landscape, the Sch\u00fctzenhof is a great place to stay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reitdorf cross-country ski trail is just around 50 metres from the hotel,<\/strong> so you can start your day of cross-country skiing right near the Sch\u00fctzenhof.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width="1\/2″][vc_single_image image="8960″ img_size="medium" css=""][vc_column_text css=""]The Reitdorf cross-country ski trail<\/strong> is ideal for anyone who wants to start their day of cross-country skiing right near the hotel.<\/p>\n

The trail is around 6.4 km long with only about 20 metres of elevation gain,<\/strong> making it a relaxed route through the winter landscape of Reitdorf.<\/p>\n

Whether you prefer the classic technique<\/strong> or skating<\/strong> style, you\u2019ll be back at the Sch\u00fctzenhof in no time, ready to enjoy a relaxing afternoon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1\/2″][vc_single_image image="8956″ img_size="medium" css=""][vc_column_text css=""]For those who enjoy spending more time on the trails, the Tauernloipe offers<\/strong> a whole new range of possibilities.<\/p>\n

Stretching around 69 kilometres,<\/strong> it connects several villages in the Salzburger Sportwelt and offers plenty of variety for more experienced cross-country skiers.<\/p>\n

Of course, you don\u2019t have to cover the entire route. Individual sections are ideal for longer day trips, with opportunities to stop for a meal or a break along the way.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=""][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=".vc_custom_1789884814447{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1793343529673{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=".vc_custom_1789884814447{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}"][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=""]<\/p>\n

If you fancy heading a little higher up into the mountains, or if there is less snow in the valley, the Gnadenalm is a great alternative.<\/p>\n

Located at an altitude of around 1,300 metres, this high-altitude trail often offers better snow conditions than the trails in the valley. The Gnadenalm trail, around 18 kilometres long, winds through peaceful, snow-covered scenery and offers routes for both classic cross-country skiing and skating.<\/p>\n

Tobogganing: A Little Winter Fun Is Always Welcome<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=""]<\/p>\n

Tobogganing is easy to enjoy, great fun for all ages and a perfect activity for a winter’s day without skis.<\/p>\n

One option is the Winterbauer toboggan run. This run is around 2.5 km long and leads from the Winterbauer mountain inn down towards Altenmarkt. With 223 metres of elevation, a few fast bends and daily evening lighting, it\u2019s also a great place for some fun after dark.<\/p>\n

Winter Hiking and Snowshoeing in Flachau<\/h3>\n

In Flachau, there are several ways to explore the snow-covered winter landscape on foot. Winter hiking trails lead through snowy forests, along sunny paths and to cosy mountain huts where you can stop for a break. If you\u2019d like to get even closer to nature, snowshoeing takes you off the cleared paths and through snow-covered forests and across wintery mountain slopes.<\/p>\n

One lovely option is the snowshoe tour along the Path of Good Wishes or up to the Winterbauer mountain inn. For a particularly peaceful experience, try the snowshoe tour to the Lackenalmen at the foot of the Lackenkogel. This 3.5 km route leads through snowy forests and across meadows into the Lackenalm area. It takes around 2.5 hours and includes 692 metres of elevation gain.<\/p>\n

For a regular winter walk, all you need is warm clothing and sturdy footwear suitable for winter conditions. Snowshoes and poles can be hired for the relevant tours.<\/p>\n
