Ski holidays Unken - skiing in the Heutal!

In front of the breathtaking panorama of the Loferer Steinberge mountains with the highest point of the Ochsenhorn (2,513 m) lie the cosy villages of Lofer and Unken. Nestled in the Saalachtal, the villages became popular winter sports destinations due to the close proximity of the Loferer Alm and Unken-Heutal ski areas, with more than 58 kilometres of piste and 17 lifts! The region offers a magnificent mountain panorama as well as a diverse range of recreational activities with sports or culture. Families with children will especially love not only the gentle pistes, but also the resort's family friendliness. Cross-country trails and the network of winter hiking trails also invite you to savour the panorama. Unken - skiing in the Heutal!

Unken at an altitude of around 564 m, at the foot of the 1,961 m high Sonntagshorn. The idyllic community is especially attractive for holidaymakers who prefer to spend their holiday more quietly. The Heutal valley, in which Unken lies, is snow-sure and is the ideal winter paradise for downhill and cross-country skiiers, as well as sun worshippers. The ski area is sure not to be overcrowded, and is especially suitable for families with its easy and medium-level pistes. Off-piste, history lovers will find the Kniepass Fortress is worth seeing, which was built in the 13th century and lets you have a glimpse of the history of Unken and the Salzburger Land.

Cross-Country

Fans of this Nordic sport will not be left wanting in the Salzburger Saalachtal: Lofer alone offers a network of 50 km of trails, of which 35 km are easy and 15 km of a medium level. A further 30 km in Unken-Heutal join this, of which 20 km are rather easy and 10 km can be classified as medium. Simple circuits can be found especially in the valley, whereas the snow-sure high-altitude trails on the Loferer Alm and in the Heutal are more demanding. The high-altitude trail on the Loferer Alm is especially sunny, making it highly recommended for all those who want to catch some rays on the side. There is also the opportunity to take a trip to the Winklmoosalm on the Bavarian side. The trail leads slightly uphill and requires a bit of stamina!
