Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau
What you need to do in Wildschönau • Head for heights. Test your agility through the snowy treetops at the Wildschönau High Rope Course, the highest of its kind in Austria. You’ve got 27 stations to master, with some up to 21m off the ground! • Walking on air. This is exactly how you will feel after exploring some of the 40km of prepared winter walking trails, amidst some of the most delightful winter scenery. • Build an igloo. Head out on a short snowshoe walk with local mountain guide Hans Georg Hotter, before finding the perfect pitch to build your own igloo. Book via tourist office, from €5.

• Ski Bum. From the Schatzberg lift in Auffach, take the ‘Bummelzug’, an experience in itself, to the mid-station, before tobogganning down the 5 km long run back to the village. • Cheers! Make sure you try the famous „cure-for-all“ Krautinger Schnapps, which has been uniquely distilled in the Wildschönau valley from locally grown White Beet since the mid-18th century.
