Ski holidays Kössen - the holiday experience!

The impressive massifs of both Wilder and Zahmer Kaiser form the spectacular setting for the region of Kaiserwinkl with its winter sports resorts. The region which is directly on the border to Germany has recently developed into a true winter sport paradise. In total, 30 kilometres of piste provide an attractive range for skiers as well as snowboarders. The longest of these pistes measures 7 km and has a difference in altitude of over 1,100 m! Cross-country skiers will find all types of cross-country trails on one of Europe's largest cross-country trail networks. Along with this there is excellent après ski and a wide range of leisure activities. Kössen - the holiday experience!

Centrally located Kössen (589 m) is Kaiserwinkel’s main resort. The cosy Tyrolean village is located north of the Unterberghorn and offers everything a winter sports fan’s heart desires. Kössen is especially suited for families and relaxed skiers, as well as for cross-country skiers. The self-named “family ski area” doesn’t only offer fun on the slopes. The lively centre invites guests to take a stroll or visit restaurants or cafes. Cosy huts are perfect for bringing the evening to an end. Action freaks can take advantage of snow tubing or paragliding, as well.

Cross-Country

Things are looking up for cross-country skiing in the ski holiday region Kaiserwinkl! The terrain around the mountains Unterberghorn (1,700 m) and Zahmen Kaiser (1,200 m), with its 170 kilometres of trail, is one of the most popular cross-country skiing trails in Austria. This area offers several possibilities for advanced skiers and for beginners. You can find challenging race tracks as well as easy tours with a magnificent view of the Wilder Kaiser. The highlight of each season is the "Koasa" (Austrian for Kaiser = emperor), a massive cross-country run with approximately 2000 participants every year! By the way: Hochkössen was awarded the "Pistengütesiegel" (piste seal of approval) by the county Tyrol, maybe also because the whole ski area surrounding the Unterberghorn was diversely modernised in the last few years. This lets all visitors enjoy their ski holidays to the max!
