Winter hiking in Dorfgastein - Where the soul meets nature
Where better to revive than in freshly snow-covered natural splendor - like on the local mountain of Dorfgastein. On the Fulseck adventure mountain, winter and snow hikes are a decelerating alternative to the otherwise rather action-packed skiing. They can be enjoyed in pleasant solitude, but also in conversation-intensive company. Experiencing the beauty of the cold season at the natural rhythm of one's own pace is almost a bit of poetry, at least like meditating on foot. Those who are not only addicted to the height of the peak, but also appreciate the atmosphere here, will be charmingly rewarded. Because in addition to breathtaking views over the main ridge of the Alps, real winter fans will fall for the magic of the landscape with joy. Step by step.
Furring in Dorfgastein: piste ski tour to the adventure mountain Fulseck
Heading for the mountain peak on skins-covered skis, enjoying the snow and the exertion - what was the preserve of endurance athletes and alpine enthusiasts not so long ago is now capturing the hearts of many winter sports fans. Also in the Gastein Valley. In fact, piste skiing tours fulfill different needs: a winter fitness session, a social event before or after work, or simply a short break from everyday life. The Dorfgasteiner Bergbahnen offer optimal and safe conditions for this: an organized ascent track including downhill skiing, sanitary facilities, ski buses and parking spaces. Attention skiers: In Dorfgastein, the signs point to almost 580 meters of touring fun!
Walking on a big foot - snowshoe trail Dorfgastein
Once you've done it, you'll never get enough of it! Hiking with snowshoes trains the entire musculoskeletal system evenly - and yet leaves leisure for an inner peace, to give the environment the attention it deserves. Snowshoeing on the Fulseck is an experience in wonderful silence. If you want to be at one with nature, take the signposted snowshoe trail from the top station of the Gipfelbahn-Fulseck via the Arltörl to the middle station. Of course, the trail can also be walked the other way up - from the middle station up to the top station. The highest point at 2,027 meters rewards with a view of the 3,000-meter peaks of the Hohe Tauern in the south.
