Cross country skiing in the Wildschönau

Because of the lack of snow, the cross-country tracks can no longer be groomed. The Schönangeralm track is still open.

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.
