Top cross-country skiing and ski touring regions: Austria

Winter sports in Tyrol

Ski touring & cross-country skiing: discover Tyrol's winter diversity away from the pistes

Tyrol is the centrepiece of alpine winter sports in Austria - far beyond the ski slopes. Countless opportunities await ski touring enthusiasts between the mighty three-thousand metre peaks: fantastic ascents, powder descents and panoramic altitude metres. Whether in Ischgl, Ötztal or the Wilder Kaiser - ambitious ski tourers will find their paradise here.

But Nordic winter sports enthusiasts also get their money's worth: Tyrol's network of cross-country ski trails is one of the best in Europe. From the sunshine trail in Kaiserwinkl to the competition trails in Seefeld or Leutasch, you can glide through snow-covered valleys, on high-altitude trails or around glacier regions - sporty or enjoyable, but always with a view of Tyrol's imposing mountains.

Highlights for your cross-country skiing & ski touring holiday in Tyrol

  • High-altitude trails up to 2,500 m
  • Legendary ski touring areas
  • Variety of trails from easy to sporty
