Do you fancy skiing and are you looking for the perfect ski vacation for singles?
Skiing is healthy, lots of fresh air, stopping off for a fun time in a hut, après-ski parties, … that’s why skiing is a great winter sport for many people. The landscape in the Mühlviertel is hilly and we are not surrounded by mighty three-thousand-meter peaks. But there are still three great ski areas in the immediate vicinity of the hotel with an altitude of up to 1,350m. All ski areas can be artificially snowed if the snowfall is not so heavy. The ski areas usually start the winter season on December 8th and do not end until the beginning of April. The largest ski area with around 35 km of slopes and numerous huts is the Hochficht ski area , ideal for 3 or 4 days of skiing. (approx. 30 minutes by car)
For a few hours there are 2 smaller ski areas, the Sternstein in Bad Leonfelden (approx. 15 minutes by car) and the newly built ski area in Lipno in the Czech Republic. (approx. 20 minutes by car)
Want to experience the diversity of winter and not just ski? Then the Mühlviertel is the place for you. Numerous cross-country ski trails start directly from the hotel, the Schöneben Nordic Center is not far away, or you can simply go on a leisurely snowshoe hike with a stop at the AVIVA Alm.
