Winter sports in the Ausseerland region

When thinking of winter sports, many first think of skiing, cross-country skiing and winter hiking. But in Ausseerland there are other activities for unforgettable winter moments.

Enjoying dreamlike views while tobogganing. Breathe in fresh winter air while ice skating. Experience leisurely sleigh rides through the snow-covered landscape. Spend sociable hours curling. A hot chocolate, a Zottler or a Lupitscher - two traditional drinks from the Ausseerland - to warm up are the crowning conclusion of your winter moment in the Ausseerland.

Tobogganing fun in Ausseerland for the whole family

"Schlittgoasreitn" sounds like a lot of fun. And that's exactly what's hidden behind the term typical of Ausseerland: tobogganing is a universally popular winter sport and an integral part of what's on offer at the Loser, Tauplitz and Zlaim ski resorts.

Take a toboggan from the rental of the toboggan runs in Ausseerland, and off you go. On foot, by lift or even directly on the toboggan you get up towards the tobogganing fun. At the top you can enjoy the fantastic view of the Ausseerland. And what follows is pure pleasure: Adventurously the way leads on two runners back to the valley and to the refreshment stop in the hut.
