Cross Country Skiing
Let the adventure and the pace be yours in Upper Austria: There is nothing as peaceful as gliding along through snow laden woodlands, across a remote alpine valley, or along a wide open alpine pasture on a pair of cross country skis.
Upper Austria is home to premium Nordic terrain, including the resorts of Ulrichsberg, Windischgarsten and Bad Goisern, all playing host to international competitions each winter. Thus it’s no wonder that the country between Bohemian Forest and Dachstein Mountain Range produces top athletes such as Nordic World Champion and Olympic Silver and Bronze Medal Winner Christian Hoffmann.
In Upper Austria, cross country skiing is as big a passion as the Alpine variety of the sport.

Upper Austria’s Nordic resorts are deeply steeped in tradition and boast meticulously maintained tracks, winding through the spectacular sceneries of Salzkammergut, Pyhrn-Priel and Muehlviertel. Many resorts are especially committed to meet the special needs and requirements of cross country skiers. Nordic skiing in Upper Austria is beautiful and bucolic skiing.

There is nothing as peaceful as gliding along through snow laden woodlands, across a remote alpine valley, or along a wide open alpine pasture on a pair of cross country skis: While the thrills of downhill skiing are undeniable, cross country is really skiing in its original form.
