Cross-country skiing in beautiful nature: Cross-country skiing has gained popularity in Austria in recent years. Katschberg offers several attractive options for cross-country skiing enthusiasts. In the valley, there are many well-prepared trails, and at the top of the mountain, there’s a beautiful 9-kilometer trail perfect for long tours.
Ski touring with stunning panoramas: Prefer a challenge over the gondola ride? Try ski touring in the Nockberg mountains. Here, the adventure begins with a hike up the mountain, and after reaching the summit, you can strap on your skis and enjoy the descent. Beginners can practice on the ski slopes, while more experienced skiers can explore areas away from the traditional pistes. It’s recommended to book a guide for the best experience.
Sledging for all ages: A sledging trip is a must in Katschberg. Put on your winter boots and walk up to one of the mountain huts. Many huts rent out sledges, so you can enjoy both the ascent and descent. A popular sledging run is from Gamskogelhütte, which is 1.5 km long and lit up two evenings a week from 3 pm to 10 pm, allowing time for both skiing and sledging during the day.
Winter hiking in the valley or mountains with snowshoes: Believe it or not, winter is a fantastic time for hiking. With snowshoes strapped on, you can tread safely through the snow and enjoy the fresh mountain air and breathtaking views. For optimal safety and a truly unforgettable experience, it’s recommended to take a guided tour where a local expert can show you the best routes and tell you about the area’s nature.
Ice skating rink: In the middle of Katschberghöhe, there’s a lovely ice skating rink every winter, which is free and open to everyone. The area is illuminated when darkness falls, providing the perfect setting for an evening filled with skating fun. The activity is ideal for families and friends seeking a fun and active way to spend their evenings. For those without their own skates, rentals are available on-site.
Ice climbing on frozen waterfalls: In Katschberg, ice climbers can find perfect conditions on the majestic waterfalls that freeze in winter. The area offers versatile options suitable for all experience levels, from beginner to expert. The best thing about ice climbing in Katschberg is the easy access to the waterfalls and their safety from avalanches, making it an ideal location for this exciting winter sport.
