These are perfect for all skiers and snowboarders who practice their first turns.

OUR TIP Learn the joy of skiing in a playful and relaxed way. CROSS-COUN- TRY SKIING ENJOYMENT GUARANTEED
The Kaiserwinkl region is famous for its cross-country skiing far beyond the borders of Tyrol. The reason for this is its extensive network of cross-country trails, which has been awarded the Ty- rolean cross-country trail seal of quali- ty. The Kaiserwinkl is also one of the top cross-country skiing areas in the Alps because of its approximately two kilo- metres of snow-covered cross-coun- try ski trails, which are completely in- dependent of the weather conditions of winter.
OUR TIP Glide over the freshly groomed cross-country ski trails on Walchsee or circle the Schwemm Nature Reserve (Natura 2,000).
CHRISTMAS FAIRY-TALES DO COME TRUE
In winter, the snow-covered Lake Walchsee and the village of the same name are reminiscent of a fantastic fairy-tale landscape. Especially during the Christmas season, when streets, houses, guesthouses and hotels are il- luminated and decorated trees line the streets, you will be reminded of an Al- pine Christmas from old times. Tradi- tion and customs are now at the centre of life. The locals celebrate the Advent season quietly and contemplatively. Children‘s wide eyes watch as the lovely village prepares for Christmas.
