Cross Country Skiing in the Wildschönau Tyrol
Cross country is healthy and totally 'in'. More and more health conscious people are making cross country skiing their top sport.
90% of all muscles are activated when 'langlaufing' and there is no pressure on your joints.
The Wildschönau offers ideal conditions for this popular sport with 50 km of uncrowded cross country tracks. An insider tip is the high track on the remote Schönangeralm. Up here in the summer months dairyman Johann Schönauer makes prize winning cheese from the 2000 litres of milk daily produced. In the winter he can take things a little easier as the show dairy is closed but the warm and cosy Gasthof is still open offering cross country skiers and winter walkers, among other Tyrolean specialities, excellent samples of the prize winning cheese.
The cross country tracks in the Wildschönau:
Niederau Penning - Oberau: 20 km
Auffach - Mühltal , Bernau: 12 km
At the end of the Valley at a height of 1100 m is the challenging Schönangeralm track: 5km
There are also 6km of practice tracks.
The use of the cross country track is free of charge in the Wildschönau!
A trail map and winter walking map is available in the Tourist Office.
