Stop skiing other people's tracks and head into a variety of pristine alpine bowls and wilderness instead – some 80 incredible backcountry ski tours will take you into some of the best kept secrets behind Upper Austria's ski areas.

Winter is one of the best times to experience Upper Austria's wealth of outdoor adventure. If you’d like to skip the slopes and try something new, Upper Austria is the place to go. Try the popular winter pastime of ski touring or backcountry skiing, for example.

While the thrills of downhill skiing are undeniable, backcountry is really skiing in its original form. This low-impact yet highly aerobic snow sport is easy to learn and a perfect way to get outside and access the spectacular wilderness. Just like any sport, ski touring can be as relaxing or as extreme as you want—from hiking up one to five hours, from conquering up to 1,730 meters of vertical rise, from Dachstein Mountain to Totes Gebirge Range – the variety is endless and the choice is all yours at Ski Touring Upper Austria. The efforts of hiking up will be highly rewarded with the experience of the ideal solitary adventure—and those stunning views!

And when you're resting from a hardcore morning out hiking up the mountain on skis, you will find everything you need in Upper Austria’s cozy on-mountain eateries: Culinary Excellence huts offer splendid views and serve up creative regional cuisine—hearty Upper Austrian specialties and refreshments that taste just right after the exertion of the day!
