Snowshoe hiking & ski touring

Winter enthusiasts who would like to see the Feuerkogel in a different light can do just that on a snow-shoe hike, skitouring or at funny adventures off-piste.

You can enjoy the silence of the Feuerkogel plateau on a tour through the winter landscape on signposted ski touring routes and snowshoe trails.

And ambitious winter athletes will find their own special challenge in the six kilometre unprepared ski route into the valley (only for experienced skiers)

Enjoy delights

After so much fresh air and exercise local delicacies and regional delights tempt you to indulge in a well-deserved culinary ‘sinful’ treat.

Those who have an appetite for sun and snacks really get their money’s worth in the mountain village Feuerkogel, on the cosy terraces and in the homely snugs in the five mountain restaurants.

Let it snow :-)

The Feuerkogel cable car which runs to 1,600 metres altitude, right up into the middle of the adventure mountain village, provides very good accessibility from Ebensee am Traunsee.

For leisure-focussed winter athletes, beginners and families the little ski circus on the high plateau, which its new lifts, best prepared pistes and new snowmaking facilities, provides safe fun in the snow.
