You’ll find pure skiing fun at Königsberg in Hollenstein, at the Hochkar in Göstling, and on the imposing Ötscher in Lackenhof.
Gliding along the cross-country trails …
Whether it’s a leisurely afternoon outing, a strenuous skating workout, a family trip, or a chance to experience nature: cross-country skiing is fun and anyone can do it. Enjoy Nordic skiing—whether classic or skating—in the beautiful high valley Prolling in Ybbsitz, as well as in Hochreith in Göstling and in Lackenhof am Ötscher.
Enjoying the mountains in winter …
Beyond the ski resorts mentioned above, ski touring routes attract ambitious mountaineers. The Forsteralm Nature Reserve, which is just 15 minutes away from us. But even off the slopes, there are ski touring routes around Waidhofen and in the Mostviertel —slopes where you can leave your own tracks.

When the snowflakes dance...
Fresh mountain air and glistening snow invite you to take a winter hike or snowshoe hike through the idyllic landscape. In Göstling and Lackenhof , winter enthusiasts can enjoy the great outdoors and get a workout on a snowshoe hike.
