Cross country skiing

Cross-country skiing is an outdoor exercise close to nature which is healthy and makes you happy. Gastein is a paradise for cross country skiers with over 45 kilometers of tracked, superbly maintained trails. The altitude track in Sportgastein in particular benefits from the region’s guaranteed snow. In Bad Hofgastein there is a snow machine track with flood light (open every day until 10 pm) in the Kurpark of Bad Hofgastein.
