Ski touring in the valley

Hiking trails

Covered in a thick blanket of snow - enchanting & romantic!

Winter hikes in the Grossarl Valley are a great alternative to a day on the slopes for singles seeking some peace and quiet, happy couples and families with children looking for adventure. Why not take a toboggan with you? They are available to borrow any time from Hotel Auhof free of charge.

Snowshoeing

Themed snowshoe hikes are offered almost every day in the Grossarl Valley. Why not give the snowshoe hike for early risers a go? It meets every Wednesday at 7:15 am at the Panorama Lift valley station, just a stone’s throw from Hotel Auhof. Enjoy a circular hike through the stunning natural world of the Ellmau Valley.
