Cross-Country & Nordic

Getting away from the alpine slopes and gliding through pristine winter landscapes - in the cross-country ski mecca of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, in the heart of the Salzburger Sportwelt region, you are about to experience true cross-country bliss on some 220 kilometers of ski trails.

A fact already confirmed by experts, who crowned the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee region as one of the three best in all of Austria. Brand-new signs, a clear trail map and free use of the trails are a matter of course, and just add to all the fun.

"What makes this place so special are the extraordinary snow conditions in our broad valley", says Matthäus Steffner, cross-country pioneer from Altenmarkt-Zauchensee. Skiing until well into April is guaranteed by the alpine trails in Zauchensee (6 km, a stage of the Zauchensee forest trail) at elevations from 1,100 m to 1,350 m, the Gnadenalm (10 km) at 1,350 m and by the Rossbrand (12 km) at 1,700 m elevation.

In total, 220 km of outstandingly groomed and tracked cross-country ski trails - with a full range of difficulty represented - set the pulses of fans of both classic and skating technique, casual skiers and competitive athletes, racing in excited anticipation.
