Cross country tracks throughout the Wildschönau
Cross country skiing in the Wildschönau
About 40 km of lovely cross country tracks stretch throughout the valley past the prettiest places in the valley.
The longest track is 14 km and runs from Oberau to Niederau. Two easy tracks lie on the Bernau Plateau in Auffach and Roggenboden in Oberau.
One of the loveliest tracks is at 1150 metres altitude on the Schönanger Alm in Auffach. In summer the hillsides are dotted with cows on the summer pastures but in winter the area is peaceful and still – a veritable winter wonderland for walkers and langlaufers alike.
Depending on the snow conditions the tracks are open from mid December to the end of March and are free of charge. The winter panorama map is available at the Tourist Office where the tracks are clearly marked. Equipment can be hired at all ski rental shops in the area.
