Ideal for winter holidays Turracher Höhe:
altitude and guaranteed snow

Small, fine, and varied is the cross-country skiing area Turracher Höhe. Four trails - the Turracher See trail, the Weitental, Hochmoor, and Sonnenloipe Trails can become your XC terrain. All trails are groomed for classic and skating style. Those who want to learn or improve their cross-country skiing skills can visit the ski schools during the winter holiday on the Turracher Höhe.

Numerous ski tours lead around the snow-sure Turracher Höhe to the Nockberge. Especially the 3rd stage of the Nockberge Trail, which starts directly at the Turracher Höhe, is an absolute highlight for every pleasure tourer. Other recommended tours in your winter holidays Carinthia are:

• Beginner’s Trail in the Heidi Alm Falkert (1.5 h, difference in altitude: 433 m)
• Grünleitennock via trail (2.5 h, difference in altitude: 675 m)

Quiet winter hiking trails, snowshoe hikes through powdery deep snow, fast toboggan runs, and panoramic ski tours to the Carinthian Nockberge. Not only cross-country skiing, but also numerous other winter activities allow you to explore the picturesque landscape during the winter holidays on the Turracher Höhe.

From an altitude of 2,000 meters, the Nocky Flitzer descends from the mountain station of the Panoramabahn through curves and twists to the Turracher Höhe. You choose the pace. With the multi-stage braking system, you can decide whether you prefer to slide down the 1.6 km long toboggan run faster or more leisurely.

The natural ice-skating rink on a small part of Turracher Lake, just a few steps from Hotel Hochschober, is covered by massive ice for an average of six months per year. The ice can be up to one metre thick. A real highlight in your winter holiday Carinthia on the Turracher Höhe.

Experienced winter bathers will delight in this: For plunging into the absolutely cold water – with temperatures around 2 degrees Celsius in winter - there are suitable spots right by Hotel Hochschober. And there's an ice hole, freshly cleared every day.

Strap on your snowshoes (rental snowshoes are available at Hotel Hochschober) and off you go, cross-country through the snow! For those who want expert guidance on their way: join a snowshoe hike with the Pistenbutler.
