From the Hohe Tauern in the north to the Dolomites in the south – Everything your cross-country skiing heart desires is on offer. In the biathlon center in Obertilliach, you even have the opportunity to test your shooting skills while doing your laps on cross-country skis.

The "Osttirodler" is clearly an action highlight for young and old in Osttirol. At 2.7 km, the alpine coaster is one of the longest in the Alps and leads over countless steep turns and rapid passages from the Hochstein in Lienz through the forest to the valley. You will love it.
