Cross-country skiing in Tyrol – a cross-country holiday in the Kaiserwinkl

Skiing and cross-country skiing awaken a weary spirit. Gliding along the trails is regarded as a very special kind of endurance sport. So many kilometres can be covered over several hours, while you breathe in the winter and mountain air. Your body gets an intense work-out during the ascent. In contrast, the gentle ride downhill provides a hint of action in the midst of the beautiful natural surroundings, in what would otherwise be tranquil cross-country skiing.

The most comfortable cross-country holiday can be found in cross-country regions which are ‘Tiroler Langlaufspezialisten’ – of which the Kaiserwinkl is one. These are Cross-country regions, where the focus is very much on Nordic ski sport. The trail seal of approval for the state of Tyrol is awarded to all regions who meet high quality standards for cross-country skiing in Austria.

Cross-country skiing with the Tyrol slope seal of approval promises you:

• Trail network: min. 50 kilometres
• Comfort: Good infrastructure
• Service: High level of customer service along with qualified ski schools and hire points
• Flexibility: for beginners through to experts
• Accommodation: Approved cross-country accommodation

These Tyrolean cross-country areas also promise you quality, security and a very special service. Let your cross-country skiing holiday in Austria begin!
