ACTIVITIES IN THE SNOW FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Winter Holidays in Flachau
Cross-Country Skiing in Flachau, Ski amadé
With over 220 km of excellently maintained trails and all difficulty levels—most of which are tracked for both classic and “skating” styles—the Salzburger Sportwelt is a top destination for cross-country skiing.
Just 100 meters from the hotel, you can access the 50 km long Tauernloipe, which connects Flachau, Wagrain, St. Johann-Alpendorf, Radstadt, Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, and Untertauern. The ski bus (with a stop right here at the hotel) will take you to various sections of the trails.
Tip: 14 km long alpine XC trail on the Rossbrand
Salzburger Sportwelt
Tobogganing in Flachau
A
traditional sledding expedition is a must for any perfect winter vacation. In
Flachau and Flachauwinkl, there are actually four toboggan runs (some floodlit
after dark) for you to choose from, each between 3 and 4 km long. You don’t
need to bring along your own sled either, of course, since they are available
for you to rent next to the runs.
Winter Hiking & Snowshoeing
Get your heart pumping on 40 km of cleared hiking trails in a healthy climate at 1,000 meters above sea level. Breathe deeply and enjoy the beautiful nature of Salzburger Land in Ski amadé to the max.
By the way, it’s only about 100 meters from our Hotel Felsenhof to the winter hiking path alongside the Tauernloipe.
- Free snowshoe rental (10 pairs) – please bring your own ankle-high hiking boots

Horse-Drawn Sleigh Rides through Flachau
A ride on a horse-drawn sleigh is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and romantic ways to explore Flachau and Salzburger Land in winter. Cozily wrapped up in warm blankets, glide with your family through the magical winter landscape. And your coachman will definitely have plenty of interesting and amusing stories to tell along the way.
Ice Stock in Flachau
This traditional sport combines fun, skill, the fresh winter air, and high-spirited local hospitality. It’s all about developing the right arm swing to get as close to the target (known as a “Taube”) as possible. The enjoyment is cranked up a notch or two if you actually hit the opponent team’s ice stock, causing their expected victory to suddenly, literally and figuratively, “slip away.” But it’s never over until it’s over …
