With its 32 kilometres of pistes, the Rauris Valley is an insider tip – nestled in an impressive mountain world in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park.

In the Rauris Valley, the focus is on sustainable winter holidays: close to nature and family-friendly. The Rauriser Hochalmbahnen are among the first climate-neutral ski resorts in Austria and were named "one of the most scenic ski areas in the Alpine region" by skiresort.de. Away from the hustle and bustle of the masses, you can enjoy your turns in peace and quiet – on wide, tree-free slopes with fantastic powder snow and numerous options for connoisseurs.

An active winter in the Hohe Tauern National Park: A free valley bus takes you to the idyllic Hüttwinkltal – the ideal starting point for snowshoe hikes through the magical winter landscape.

Twice a week, National Park Rangers accompany guided tours at the foot of the Hoher Sonnblick – a unique opportunity to experience the quiet magic of the national park up close.

Cross-country skiing fans will find 25 kilometres of groomed trails in the Rauris Valley – including the absolutely snow-sure high-altitude trails in Bucheben, which can also be reached twice a week with the valley bus.

A special insider tip: Ski tourers will find a true paradise in Kolm Saigurn at the head of the valley – wildly romantic, untouched, and spectacular at the foot of the Hoher Sonnblick.

Don't miss: a toboggan ride on the Kreuzboden toboggan run, which is also floodlit in the evenings twice a week – for a true winter feeling under the stars.
