The snow glistens and covers hills, mountain ridges and forests in a thick white blanket. That's where I want to be - in the middle of this magical winter wonderland. I want to get on the two planks that mean the world to me. Every now and again the sound of jubilant children whizzing through this picture-perfect scene on their sledges breaks the peaceful silence. I want to grab my toboggan and dust through the powdery snow with a cheerful whoop, glide silently along the track on cross-country skis, or make my rounds on shiny ice like an ice princess, trudge through deep snow on snowshoes, or simply chase snow crystals on a long walk. Until my cheeks are red and I am happy through and through. Because winter in SalzburgerLand provides true feelings of happiness - see for yourself!
As soon as the days shorten and the very first snow flakes fall from the sky and settle over mountains and valleys, you just know that wonderful wintertime has arrived. SalzburgerLand is world-renowned for its perfectly prepared pistes and the unrivalled fun on the slopes.
However, there is also plenty of action-packed fun to be had away from the slopes. Families can take their time dragging their sledge up the mountain, stopping at the top to warm up with a hot beverage, and then whooshing back down to the valley below. Sledding guarantees both young and old a good time.
The variety of the hottest new adventure sports available in this area will delight adrenaline junkies and those who like to spice up their vacations with a little action. Have you ever leaned into a turn while riding a snow bike or let the wind carry you while flying a snow kite? Or have you ever climbed a waterfall that is heavily covered in ice? With everything this area has to offer in terms of adventure, you’ll never be short of it.
If you’re still after an active winter but don’t quite crave that same adrenaline kick, winter hiking and snowshoe walking offer up just as much fun, enjoyment and satisfaction, not least because you’ll experience unforgettable winter scenery, plants and flora along the way.
Whether you’re on the search of action away from the slopes, are looking for some rest and relaxation or are just after some family fun in the snow, in SalzburgerLand you will find everything you desire.
