Austria’s cross-country trails run through very different winter landscapes: across Seefeld’s high plateau, along the Lech valley, on high-altitude trails around Filzmoos and through the broad Nordic areas of East Tyrol and Schladming-Dachstein. Kaiserwinkl, PillerseeTal, Saalfelden Leogang, Mallnitz and other regions are also included in the trail report.
Instead of checking each destination separately, you can compare their reported operating status here. Filter by Tyrol, Carinthia, SalzburgerLand or Styria and quickly see where trails are currently open. From the overview, you can continue directly to the cross-country details for each region.
Classic, skating and evening trails in the current report
For many Austrian regions, the trail report shows classic and skating separately. You can see how many kilometres are reported as groomed for your preferred technique and how many trails are open. Some destinations also offer illuminated trails for evening cross-country skiing and are marked accordingly.
Status data is imported from Bergfex every two hours, giving you regularly refreshed information for your planning. Snowfall, temperature, grooming work or short-term closures can still change conditions between updates, so local signs and notices always remain relevant.
