Cross-country skiing in the Salzkammergut & skiing by Lake Wolfgang

Winter holiday by Lake Wolfgang – a dream holiday in Rössl

Cross-country skiing by Lake Wolfgang

Cross country skiing in Austria during winter holidays is everyone's dream. Lake and mountains: the perfect combination for your winter holiday. Cross-country skiing in the Salzkammergut and skiing by Lake Wolfgang.

Winter by Lake Wolfgang: when a fine mist hovers over the water, the snow-covered mountains glow blue. Then: the warming rays of the sun glide over hilltops and slopes – and reach your room at the Hotel Im Weissen Rössl on the banks of Lake Wolfgang. It's time: rise and shine and embark on a day full of cross country skiing adventure.

Cross-country skiing in the Salzkammergut

The cross-country skiing trails in the Salzkammergut Austria provide plenty of fun for winter fans!

A Rössl tip: stop from time to time to immerse in the winter landscape
