Pure cross-country joy on 130 kilometres of trails

The well-developed cross-country ski network encompasses more than 130 kilometres of trails – for fans of standard cross-country skiing as well as the skating version.
Trail-tip for guaranteed snow: On the Golf loop trail in Ehrwald (Golfino main entry point with infrastructure and car park), artificial snow is used to ensure perfect cross-country skiing fun even on days with warmer temperatures. In combination with its sunny location and an unobstructed view of the Zugspitze, the 2.7-km loop trail is a true athletic highlight.

And if you’d like to breathe some high-altitude air: Several kilometres of the trail network are high-altitude trails and thus have guaranteed snow until spring. What else is guaranteed on these trails? A breathtaking view of the mountains in the region!
