Ski touring
in Austria

The Austrian mountains are as diverse in geological terms as ski touring in Austria is adventurous. For example, true connoisseur tours lead to the 2,204 m high Kreuzeck in the Radstädter Tauern in the Salzburg and to the Zehnernock (1,956 m) on the Dobratsch in Carinthia. However, those who want to go higher can take a ski tour to the Rofanspitze (2,259 m) near Lake Achensee with a 1,600-meter descent into the valley or to the Hochgrabe (2,951 m) in East Tyrol with a view of the Großglockner (3,798 m).

For those who are not familiar with this sport, there is the opportunity to take part in guided ski tours in Austria. Trained mountain and ski guides accompany tours that are perfectly tailored to the abilities and wishes of their charges. They provide tips on ascent and descent techniques, tour planning, avalanche awareness, and lots of other information about ski touring in Austria.
