Winter sports in Upper Austria
To ski
In the World Cup resort of Hinterstoder, with the Hannes Trinkl World Cup course, the Hinterstoder-Höss and Wurzeralm ski areas await you, with a total of over 60 kilometers of slopes. Best of all: The Explorer Hotel is located right next to the valley station of the cable car, so you can head straight to the slopes of the Höss after breakfast.
Ski touring
Hinterstoder is a paradise for ski tourers: Whether you're looking for a beginner's tour in the Wurzeralm ski area or a ski tour for ambitious ski tourers in the Totes Gebirge, there's something for everyone here! Or you can join a guided tour with locals from the Pyhrn-Priel region.
Cross-country skiing
In Hinterstoder, your cross-country skiing heart is sure to beat faster: Here you will not only find varied trails in the valley, such as the Hinterstoder valley trail or the Polsterlucke trail, but also a high-altitude trail on the Hutterer Böden in the middle of the ski area.
Tobogganing
We think: Tobogganing is simply a must for a proper winter holiday in Austria, right? Our tip in Hinterstoder: The 1.2km long natural toboggan run, which is illuminated daily until 11 p.m. when snow conditions allow. You can easily rent sleds on site or at a sports shop.
