skiing Prägraten - secret tip in southern Austria!

The idyllic holiday resorts in East Tyrol are surrounded by the magnificent backdrop of the Venedigergruppe, Lienz dolomites with the two largest mountains in Austria, and the natural landscape of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Enthroned in the middle of the 3-thousander mountain range is the impressive Großglockner (3,798 m), Austria’s highest summit, and Großvenediger (3,674 m) over the region of East Tyrol – mountain scenery second to none! Thanks to the impressive glacier, East Tyrol offers one of the most snow-sure ski areas in the Alps, which is also somewhat sheltered from mass tourism and chaos. Tourers will also appreciate the conditions around the Großglockner. Alongside fun on the piste, you can toboggan to your heart’s content, hike through the winter landscape or relax in the indoor pool. At the end of a long day on the piste, you can spoil yourself with the regional specialities on offer in the many restaurants and Gasthöfe. Prägraten - secret tip in southern Austria!

The breathtaking mountain landscape of the resort Prägraten, which lies at the foot of Großvenediger at 1,312 m, is hard to surpass. Here it's entirely possible that the highlight of the week is time spent in nature and the mountains, such as on a ski tour. The close proximity to Italy can definitely be felt (and tasted!) in the culinary department. Numerous lodges and restaurants serve as cosy retreats and are very appealing with their regional specialities. Guests are offered much more in addition to classic winter sports: an ice skating rink, two toboggan runs and great cross-country trails provide the necessary variety. Enjoy rest and relaxation by choosing from various pools, massages and treatments. The close proximity to Tyrol's second-largest city, Lienz, offers great shopping and numerous sights for a change of pace.
