Cross-country skiing & tobogganing
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING:
Are you a passionate cross-country skier? Or would you simply like to try this beautiful and demonstrably healthy winter sport?
The Nordic Center in Saalfelden offers you many opportunities in this sport! Here you’ll find trails that are artificially snow-covered, independent of natural snowfall, as well as a night-lit cross-country ski trail.
In Saalfelden and the surrounding region, you’ll find a wide variety of cross-country ski trails for both classic and skating styles. Enjoy hundreds of kilometers of trails, from easy valley tracks to World Championship trails and high-altitude mountain trails with breathtaking views.
SLEDDING:
Want to experience some real fun again? With your friends or the whole family? Or even on your own? Then why not go sledding?
Saalfelden and the surrounding region offer several natural toboggan runs of varying lengths. Depending on the run, you can reach the starting point on the mountain on foot, by toboggan taxi, or by cable car. Before setting off, you can fortify yourself with culinary delights and perhaps even a celebratory schnapps at an alpine hut or mountain inn.
Most toboggan runs can be used all day, and you can also go tobogganing in the evening – because they are illuminated then!
Water activities in winter
Even in winter and spring, there’s plenty to do in the water in Saalfelden and the surrounding region. The lakes in and around Saalfelden are perfect for ice swimming. Get your circulation going and do something good for your health with a supervised ice swim.
If you prefer warm water, you can enjoy the indoor pool (with its large sauna area) in nearby Zell am See or the “TauernSpa Kaprun” thermal baths in Kaprun and truly relax! A little further away, but just as easily accessible by car, are the thermal baths in Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein, as well as the Rupertus Therme in Bad Reichenhall (a charming little mountain town on the Bavarian side) and the Watzmann Therme in Berchtesgaden (a famous medieval town just an hour from Saalfelden).
