In Sportgastein, cross-country remains possible until the end of April. Its 1600-metre elevation guarantees outstanding snow conditions. And there is perhaps nothing more evocative than a cross-country tour in the evening. The Böcksteinloipe and Kurparkloipe, for example, are kept floodlit until 11pm. Cross-Country Trail Reports.
If you would prefer to cut your own fresh tracks in the snow away from the cross-country trails, then Nordic Cruising couldn’t come more highly recommended. Shorter skis with a broader surface area are ideally suited for use in untouched terrain. Gliding is effortless and climbs are made simple through circular motions – there’s no better way to propel yourself through the magnificent glistening snows. But there are even more options for healthy exercise in the countryside of the Gastein Valley: Winter hiking and snowshoeing.
After your adventure-packed tour, it’s time to head back to the Römerhof. In our relaxation area you will be able to rest and recharge your batteries. And we should not forget the gourmet dinner menu that awaits you.
