The quiet side of winter

Winter vacation off the slopes

In winter, the Großarl Valley also shows its particularly quiet and original side away from the ski area. During winter hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding, or on a guided ski tour, you will experience snow-covered forests, clear mountain air, and impressive winter landscapes. Horse-drawn carriage rides and the varied program from BERG-GESUND also create special vacation moments far from the hustle and bustle of the slopes.
