Your Gesäuse in the heart of Styria

Nordic skiing

Those who only ever have cross-country skis on their mind will probably find their very own Gesäuse on the cross-country trails. A Gesäuse that combines sport and the wintry mountain landscape. You go at your own pace, your heart beats strongly and there are still those moments when you are exactly where you want to be. Despite the cold and the rewarding effort, one can say: cross-country skiing in the Gesäuse - it gives you strength!

Whether classic or skating, you can cross-country ski in Gesäuse at every turn. In Hall there is a real cross-country skiing center with Styrian cross-country skiing seal of approval and 33.5 kilometers to run up and down. But also in Admont, on the Kaiserau, in Kirchenlandl, Ardning, Altenmarkt, Wildalpen and Palfau trails are drawn and the cross-country skis are unpacked. Those who do not bring their own equipment are not out of luck, but can borrow everything from the Pörl Sport Shop in Admont or on the Kaiserau to get on track.

Cross-country skis unpacked, mountain scenery marveled at and into the track!

Meter by meter, you work out the rhythm it takes to let the everyday quiet and experience the winter cold and glistening moment. The body warms up and the brain frees.

Gesäuse

eat & sleep

They are rustic and outspoken, the Gesäuse inns.  And "regional" is not a code word in the Gesäuse, but a duty. In their backpacks they have a selection of Styrian classics to delight the palate. The traditional preparation awakens a thousand and one memories and, on balance, simply makes you blissful.

And restful sleep is possible in the Gesäuse anyway. Hotels, guesthouses, huts and campsites are scattered all over the Gesäuse. Everyone is sure to find a comfortable bed for the night. That's a promise!
