Peace, nature & the joy of cross-country skiing in the Passeiertal Valley

Cross-country skiing enjoyment away from the hustle and bustle - that's a winter holiday in the Passeiertal Valley. In the snow-covered altitudes of Pfelders, Innerhütt and Walten you will find a small, fine selection of trails for classic cross-country skiing and skating. Those looking for a challenge will find what they are looking for on the scenically impressive route into the Lazins Valley: From the mountain village of Pfelders, you glide into the Lazinser Alm basin, past alpine huts and spruce forests. The varied route offers sporting attractions - with ascents and fast descents.

For beginners and connoisseurs, we recommend the Walten trail with its gentle course or the well-maintained circuit at Innerhütt, which is also fun for advanced skiers. No matter which route you choose, the wintery Passeiertal Valley will win you over with its tranquillity, nature and authentic South Tyrolean atmosphere. And if you need a break, simply stop off at one of the cosy inns along the trail.

FAQs about cross-country skiing holidays in the Passeier Valley

Who would enjoy a cross-country skiing holiday in the Passeier Valley?

The Passeier Valley is ideal for connoisseurs, families and keen cross-country skiers who are looking for small, peaceful high-altitude areas rather than large cross-country skiing centres.

Which cross-country ski trail in the Passeier Valley is suitable for beginners and families?

Where can keen cross-country skiers find challenging trails in the Passeier Valley?

The cross-country trail from Pfelders to the Lazinser Valley presents a challenge with its longer climbs, more demanding sections and fast descents. In Innerhütt, the more challenging section features several climbs, short descents and longer gliding sections.

What distinguishes the cross-country ski trails in Pfelders, Innerhütt and Walten?

Walten is the gentle choice for beginners, whilst Innerhütt combines a gentle section with a more challenging one. Pfelders leads through high-alpine terrain into the Lazinser Valley and is particularly suitable for experienced, fit cross-country skiers.

When is the best time for cross-country skiing in the Passeier Valley?
