  • Difficulty:
Ski­ing along fro­zen lakes, through the win­ter forest or clo­se to an are­na of two-thousand-met­re peaks — the win­ter land­scape of the sou­thern Salz­kam­mer­gut is as varied as you could wish for. This impres­si­ve natu­ral back­drop also pro­vi­des the per­fect set­ting when it comes to tra­di­tio­nal moun­tain hut cui­sine and rela­xa­ti­on in the local spas. Per­fect­ly groo­med trails for both clas­sic and ska­ting styl­es offer ide­al con­di­ti­ons for a per­fect cross-coun­try ski­ing expe­ri­ence. When the snow crun­ches under your boots in the glis­tening white land­scape, win­ter in the Salz­kam­mer­gut makes you real­ly hap­py. Gli­ding ins­tead of rus­hing — time to look around, chat and still be acti­ve: tha­t’s what makes cross-coun­try ski­ing so enjoya­ble. You can look for­ward to a week that is both spor­ty and acti­ve as well as lei­su­re­ly and rela­xed in one of Aus­tria’s most attrac­ti­ve vaca­ti­on regions.

Itinerary / Stages

Day 1
Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in the spa town of Bad Ischl
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Tra­vel by car or public trans­port to Bad Ischl. The pret­ty town on the River Traun beca­me very popu­lar when Emper­or Franz Joseph regu­lar­ly spent his vaca­ti­ons here in the 19th cen­tu­ry. The impe­ri­al fami­ly’s stay hel­ped the town to deve­lop into an attrac­ti­ve vaca­ti­on resort and it still offers an attrac­ti­ve ran­ge of lei­su­re acti­vi­ties today. Over­night stay in Bad Ischl 
Day 2
Ret­ten­bachalm snow hole
Distanz: 10 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
One of the lar­gest low moun­tain pas­tu­res in Euro­pe, the Ret­ten­bachalm, is over­loo­ked by the rocks of the Totes Gebir­ge. A forest road leads to the cross-coun­try ski­ing cen­ter just six kilo­me­ters from Bad Ischl. Pic­tures­que rustic huts are scat­te­red across the wide val­ley flo­or. Cross-coun­try ski­ing fans get their money­’s worth here. Ten kilo­me­ters of per­fect­ly groo­med trails in all levels of dif­fi­cul­ty open up a varied and impres­si­ve sport­ing expe­ri­ence. Take the cab trans­fer orga­ni­zed for you to the Ret­ten­bachalm or dri­ve your own car. Back in Bad Ischl, you can relax in the Euro­ther­me spa. Over­night stay in Bad Ischl 
Day 3
Pan­ora­ma Nova high-alti­tu­de trail abo­ve Bad Goisern
Distanz: 27 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
In the mor­ning, trans­fer inclu­ding lug­ga­ge, or dri­ve with your own car, to the hotel in Bad Goi­sern, an ide­al base for win­ter sports. To get to the start of the cross-coun­try ski trail, take the six-kilo­met­re pan­o­r­amic road towards Pre­digt­stuhl. From the high-alti­tu­de trail at 1000 meters, the­re is a magni­fi­cent view of the Salz­kam­mer­gut World Heri­ta­ge Site with the Dach­stein Gla­cier and Lake Hall­statt. A total of 27 kilo­me­ters of modera­te­ly easy to very chal­len­ging trails are available. Inte­res­t­ing deli­ca­ci­es include the World Cup cross-coun­try ski trail — espe­ci­al­ly for experts — and an impres­si­ve sus­pen­si­on bridge that ser­ves as a link bet­ween two trails. Over­night stay in Bad Goisern. 
Day 4
Cross-coun­try ski­ing in the Gos­au Valley
Distanz: 10 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
The long, idyl­li­cal­ly situa­ted high val­ley stret­ches from Lake Hall­statt to the west side of the Dach­stein, whe­re it rea­ches its magni­fi­cent con­clu­si­on with the rocky peaks of the wild­ly rug­ged Gos­au­kamm. Along this Alpi­ne pan­ora­ma, past snow-cover­ed peaks and sum­mits, stret­ches the wide, very sun­ny net­work of cross-coun­try trails of all levels of dif­fi­cul­ty. Thanks to the avera­ge alti­tu­de of the moun­tain val­ley of 780 meters and the gene­ral­ly high snow gua­ran­tee, cross-coun­try ski­ing is a real tre­at. The ski bus takes you com­for­ta­b­ly to Gos­au and back to Bad Goisern. 
Day 5
Indi­vi­du­al depar­tu­re from Bad Goisern
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
