Nordic skiing / cross-country skiing
Are you an enthusiastic cross-country skier? Or would you just like to try this wonderful and healthy winter sport?

In the region you will find a wide variety of cross-country ski trails for both classic-style skiers and skaters. Enjoy several hundred kilometers of trails in the region, from the easy trail in the valley to the World Cup trail and high-altitude trails on the mountain with fantastic views.
If you don’t have any equipment – no problem. The local sports shops rent equipment. And if you want to learn cross-country skiing properly, appropriately trained trainers will be happy to help you.
tobogganing / sledding
Would you like to have some real fun again? With friends or family? Or even on your own? Then just go tobogganing.
Various natural toboggan runs of different lengths are available in the region. Depending on the toboggan run, you can reach the start of the mountain on foot, with a “toboggan taxi” or with a mountain railway. Before you start, you can fortify yourself with culinary delicacies and perhaps a “courage schnapps” in the mountain inn.

Winter hiking
The snow-covered, white winter landscape invites you to explore the beautiful nature in Saalfelden Leogang on foot or on snowshoes. Experience absolute peace and quiet on meadows and alpine pastures. Enjoy the healthy fresh air and the beneficial effects of untouched nature.
Many kilometers of winter hiking trails await you in Saalfelden and the region. Whether in the valley or with fantastic views on the mountain – just set off and experience “pure relaxation”. You decide the pace and direction yourself.
Or you can go out into nature on snowshoes – regardless of paths or roads. With snowshoes you can get to places that you couldn’t visit in the usual way. A very special experience. If you want to try snowshoe hiking, you can rent snowshoes from local sports shops. The local tourist association also offers guided hikes and snowshoe hikes. A way to hike into nature without danger. Try it out!
Ice skating
Do you love speeding across the ice? Dancing on the ice? Or racing with friends or family members? Or are you more the type who feels his way forward slowly and still ends up on his bottom? Regardless of this, ice skating is great fun for most people.
You can ice skate on various ice rinks in the region. The pros do it independently, beginners can do it with the help of ice skating instructors if they wish. Of course, you can rent ice skates on site at the ice rink.
If you prefer to ice skate in a hall, you can of course do that with us too. In the neighboring town of Zell am See you will find a large ice rink. Here you can let off steam on the ice regardless of the weather.
After ice skating, you will find cozy restaurants, cafes and bars everywhere near the ice rinks where you can warm up again and reflect on the last few hours. Enjoy a few hours on the smooth ice.
