Winter in the Waldviertel is especially attractive. Snow and ice turn the natural landscape into a scenery as if taken from a fairy-tale.
While other regions focus on skilifts and mass tourism, the Waldviertel has continued to rely on its peaceful atmosphere and contemplative nature.
Loved and appreciated by insiders is the cross-country skiing offer of the Waldviertel. Hundreds of kilometres of well tended runs around the regions Gutenbrunn-Bärnkopf-Martinsberg and Bad Großpertholz-Karlstift invite you to exercise in the fresh winter air.
Following the motto "Get on your skis and get going", the small, but lovely and well-tended ski resorts of the Waldviertel are perfectly suitable for families with kids. They offer lifts, snow-making facilities, snowboard & ski courses.


Those who prefer something else apart from skiing can indulge in Nordic Walking tours, trudge through the winter landscape on snow boots, go ice-skating or embark on a horse-drawn sleigh ride.
