Winter is on its way and what better place to enjoy all that this season has to offer than in Upper Austria: Pine and spruce of Mühlviertel´s mighty woodlands are dusted with luxurious snow, the gorgeous mountains of the country´s south and south-east are covered in white and the province´s quaint towns and villages are blanketed in snow and sparkling in the sunlight. And once the snow flies, it´s time to grab your skis or snowboard and head for the hills. Upper Austria has some of the finest terrains for "Snow & Fun" outdoor exploration. Seven prime ski resorts amidst majestic mountain sceneries dot the country. Upper Austria skiing accommodates every level from the advanced downhiller to the training toddler, from moguls and snowboarding to quiet backcountry tours. All across the country, Mother Nature has been known to put on quite a display. And one of the best ways to enjoy these wonders is on the stunning network of cross country ski trails. We bring a lot of experience and enthusiasm to your winter vacation, whether it's walking the lovely cleared hiking trails or snowshoeing into a winter wonderland. Golden lights piercing a snowy night. A horse-drawn sleigh gliding through the woods. Is it any coincidence that the classic images of winter are pure Upper Austria?
