Holidays in Winter

Alpine skiing, backcountry skiing tours, cross-country skiing, ice climbing, winter hiking, sledding

Our farm and holiday house ‘Bergsee’ are located in the heart of the Heiligenblut-Grossglockner ski area – a secret tip for wintertime guests. There are numerous reasons for its uniqueness: nowhere else are winter sports loves nearer to the Grossglockner, Austria’s highest mountain. There are 55 km of groomed ski runs extending from 1300 to 3000 metres altitude, guaranteeing snow from mid-April, wide ski pistes and no waiting times at the lifts. From our farm you have direct access to the cross-country trails, a ski bus takes you to the cablecars (bus stop right in front of the house) and to the ski school in the center of the village.

The Grossglockner/Heiligenblut Ski Area

Skiing in the Grossglockner/Heiligenblut Ski Area – face to face with the Grossglockner

The sun is out, the air is freezing cold; the powder snow has covered the world in a myriad of glittering ice crystals. If you’re thinking ‘photo opportunity’, you are spot-on. Vast, snow-covered mountainsides, perfectly groomed pistes, feathery powder snow – and in the background, the pyramid shape of the 3789-metre-high Grossglockner, Austria’s highest mountain. An outing in the Grossglockner/Heiligenblut Ski Area is a fantastic experience, not just for winter sports enthusiasts, but also for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone with an appreciation for truly breathtaking views

Vertical Joy – Ice Climbing in the Hohe Tauern National Park

Not many other activities bring you as tangibly close to the natural elements of the alpine world as ice climbing. It is a discipline that requires a great deal of technique, strength and stamina. Expert climbers are well aware of this – and great numbers of them have come to appreciate the excellent ice climbing conditions in the Heiligenblut area.
