Ski holidays Windischgarsten – holiday idyll in between tradition and modernity!

Windischgarsten

The market town of Windischgarsten is a centrally located climatic health resort in the Pyhrn-Priel holiday region, picturesquely framed by the Sengsengebirge, Toten Gebirge and Haller Mauern mountains. The small town with its approximately 2,400 inhabitants is particularly charming thanks to its historic town centre with many listed mansions, old churches and ornate chapels. Pretty rows of shops, cosy cafés, a modern cultural centre and, last but not least, the warm-hearted inhabitants bring the place to life in a pleasant way. Windischgarsten is not far from the Kalkalpen National Park, many beautiful hiking trails, ski areas and cross-country skiing trails. Here, the full range of winter sports is on offer, from tobogganing and curling to snowshoeing. Thanks to its convenient location on the north-south connection through the Alps, the town is also very easily accessible via the Pyhrn motorway.

Pyhrn-Priel

This beautiful holiday region in the southern part of Upper Austria, stretches across vast Alpine meadows and hills up to 2,000 m altitude, right up into the national park of the Limestone Alps - one of the largest forested areas in Austria. From the mountain peaks to the valley basins, which are formed by picturesque streams and rivers, Pyhrn-Priel turns into a glittery fairytale landscape in winter. The natural diversity of the region entices nature lovers and activity seekers alike, and hence forms the perfect place to practice winter sports. Day-tours can easily be realised from the centrally located resorts Windischgarsten and Hinterstoder. Two attractive family ski areas, approx. 100 km of winter hiking trails, over 120 km of cross-country trails and magnificent views over the surrounding peaks of the Sengsen mountains and the Tote Gebirge (dead mountains) make this the perfect destination for a relaxing holiday.
