Off the slopes, on an adventure
Ski tour to peak bliss
Experience the quiet magic of the snow-covered mountains away from the slopes on a ski tour in the Flachau valley. Where winter shows its most pristine side - just you, the untouched snow and the vastness of the mountain landscape. Climb the peaks on touring skis, enjoy breathtaking views and relish in the reward of a fantastic descent. For beginners, ski tours along the ski slopes are also a great way to get a taste of this strenuous but highly popular sport.
