ca. 120 km of free cross-country skiing
Glide through the glistening snow at a steady pace, breathe in the fresh mountain air, with the picturesque panorama of the Zugspitze in the background - cross-country skiing in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena means enjoying nature to the full. Not only experienced cross-country skiers feel at home on the perfectly groomed trails.
The region also offers numerous easy cross-country skiing trails for beginners.
The Tiroler Zugspitz Arena offers trails for lovers of classic cross-country skiing and as well of the skating variant.
Another highlight: all cross-country ski trails can be used free of charge.
- Trail-tip for guaranteed snow: For the Golf Loop Trail between Ehrwald and Lermoos (main access point Golfino with restaurant and parking lot) artificial snow is used. Thus, even during a bit warmer periods in winter, the 2.7-kilometre circular trail is perfectly groomed. In combination with the extremely sunny location and the unobstructed view of the Zugspitze, it is a real sporting highlight.
- Experience vastness and pure freedom: The longest trail - the Arena Trail with a length of around 40 kilometers - leads through several villages in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena. With difficulty levels ranging from easy to moderate, it is also ideal for beginners.
- If you’d like to breathe some high-altitude air: Several kilometres of the trail network are high-altitude trails (in Berwang). Thus they have guaranteed snow until spring and a breathtaking view of the unique mountains in the region.
- Important to know: The trails are groomed depending on the current weather conditions.
