Known as the “Valley of Mountain Huts” in summer, Grossarltal may fairly be called the “Valley of Ski Tours” in winter. Away from the busy pistes, countless remote mountaintops also await you in and around the towns of Grossarl and Hüttschlag.

Numerous tours of varying lengths and degrees of difficulty invite you to enjoy the snowy hillsides, glistening ice crystals and warming rays of radiant sunshine. What more could a ski tourer ever wish for?

Pure nostalgia and romance: Snuggled into the back of a horse-drawn sleigh under warm blankets, gliding through the picturesque countryside and enjoying the magic of this unique alpine world. Feeling the peace that surrounds you. The only things that disturb the silence are the runners of the sleigh slicing across the snow, the snorting of the horses, the commands from the carriage driver and the jingle of sleigh bells. Take a sleigh ride to the Hüttschlag valley head or enjoy a relaxing tour of Grossarl itself.

Accompanied by a professional tandem pilot, soar over Grossarltal and enjoy the marvelous views from a bird’s-eye perspective. If you wish, your pilot might also throw in the occasional acrobatic maneuver, too. You will begin your tandem flight from a scenic plateau at around 1,850 m above sea level, right next to the mountain terminal of the Panorama Lift. Just a short run-up and you will find yourself gliding through the skies above Grossarl’s mountain world. Tandem flights are possible year-round and you don’t need any prior experience. You’ll simply fly away.

You can enjoy cross-country skiing on around 25 km of tracked trails in Grossarl and Hüttschlag. For the most part, the trails in our region are tracked for classicas well as “skating” technique.

If the snowfall is ever not as abundant as we would like, Grossarltal has a solution: About 2 hectares of the trail at the “Reitwiese” in Grossarl also have snowmaking capability, providing both beautiful XC loops as well as an ideal practice areafor beginners, advanced skiers as well as the up-and-coming cross-country stars of tomorrow.

Some take you alongside the stream, others uphill to farmhouses higher on the mountains. When you are ready to drop back down to the valley, your return trip often goes quite a bit faster.
