Cross-Country

Cross-country skiing in front of such an imposing backdrop can only be done in the Virgen Valley. An especially easy start into the sunny trails can be done from Matrei. There is a total of three high-altitude runs in the Virgen Valley, the exploration of which is associated with a first-class nature experience. The circuit track on the high plateau from Kals am Großglocker to Großdorf and the Taurer is considered to be especially lovely by those in the know. Stamina, on the other hand, is required by the skating trail in Prägraten at the Großvenediger. Cross-country fun under the starry sky is offered by the floodlit trail near Prägraten. Virgen has more than 21 km of tracked and superbly prepared trails, which provide worthwhile diversity for the sporty skater as well as the dynamic classical cross-country skier.
