Ski touring, cross-country skiing and snowshoe hiking in the Großarl valley
True winter wonderland
From ski touring to cross-country skiing to snowshoe hiking, there are lots of great alternatives to skiing and snowboarding. Ski touring gives visitors the chance to climb a mountain on foot before skiing down off-piste, while cross-country skiing is a great way to enjoy the landscape. Guests who enjoy walking in summer will love snowshoeing in winter, with plenty of snow-covered forests and meadows around the hotel waiting to be explored.

- Großarl cross-country skiing trail: Just 200 metres from the GROSSARLER HOF, towards Hüttschlag, you will find the access point to this cross-country skiing trail. It has a relatively gentle profile and leads from Großarl to Kösslerhäusl and back. The trail is suitable for both the traditional Classic technique and the more modern and dynamic Skating technique.
- Reitwiese cross-country skiing loop: This trail includes a practice area for children and is floodlit three times a week. It is just a short walk from our hotel.
- Hüttschlag cross-country skiing trail: This trail begins in Hüttschlag and takes you to the end of the Großarltal Valley, past the mighty mountains forming the Hohe Tauern National Park. There is a 3 km section near the Aschaustüberl hut which is floodlit in the evening.
