Activities on your Winter Holiday

Do you fancy gentle walks through the Enns valley admiring the river, or above Radstadt to the Bürgerbergalm hut or to a mountain hotel?– In Radstadt there are over 20 km of groomed trails for winter hiking.

Take in the crystal clear air and the breathtaking backdrop of the Radstädter Tauern mountains.

An evening stroll around the well-lit city walls is a really charming way of getting out and about, especially when Radstadt shows itself in its most beautiful winter dress. The tour takes only about 20 minutes and is ideal as a short walk in between or to round off a nice day’s holiday.

You can also experience nature and freedom when you explore the wonderful landscape on snowshoes, leaving your own mark in our region. Combine sport and nature enjoyment, either on your own or on a guided snowshoe hike. To make it truly magic, why not try an evening walk in the dusk with a headlamp to light your way.

Guided Snow Shoe Hike in Radstadt

Cool winter fun on the ice rink

The Radstadt Sport Centre, just a 5 minute walk from Hotel Stegerbräu, is where you will find our local natural ice rink. On weekdays it is open (weather permitting) from 2-9 pm and on weekends and holidays from 10 am to 9 pm. Try gliding in circles and dancing around the rink, very romantic! Ice skates can be rented on site.

Get on target with the traditional sport of winter curling

Winter curling is a well loved local sport throughout the Austrian Alps and has a long history here. More and more guests discover this team sport with a stick-handled stone. With winter curling, you glide your stone down the length of the icy alley and try and get it as close to the jack as possible. The fun really starts when there are enough people. Radstadt has 2 curling alleys available. Please pre register and when you have a group of at least 8 people, the alley can be reserved for free for just your own curling party. There is a small fee for the rental of the curling stone.

With the Stegerbräu Christmas package, we invite our guests to our convivial winter curling evening.

Royal Tobogganing Fun in Radstadt

The Königslehen toboggan run on the Kehmadhöhe starts right at the top of the gondola that comes up from Radstadt, at 1,571 m above sea level. At 6 km long, it is the longest floodlit toboggan run in Salzburger Sportworld. Fast straights mixed with gentle sections and fun corners makes for so much fun.

The easy way up is to use the 8-man gondola from Radstadt up the mountain. During the day, you can use your lift pass for free. Twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, the toboggan run is open at night and the lights are turned on. You can rent your toboggan and buy your evening pass from the base station. An ideal start is taking a little refreshment at the Sportalm on the summit or the umbrella bar Unterberg-Salettl at the base station. Check out the prices here for the royal evening of tobogganing on King’s mountain, Königslehen!

Even more tobogganing fun for every age group.

• Forest trail toboggan run in Altenmarkt from Hochnössler Hut or Bifei’s Hut (approx. 3.2 km)

• Flachau: Sattelbauer or Munzenhof
• Gnadenalm between Untertauern and Obertauern (approx. 1.5 km), take a lift up with the skidoo to the startpoint!

A slightly different option is the all-weather rollercoaster ride, the Lucky Flitzer in Flachau, open all year round. Glide down the mountain on rails with your own braking system. The cars are pulled to the top, and then you are released to come down at your own speed. There is 1,100 metres of waves, curves, 5 spiral loops and 2 jumps for the brave!

Make it an event to remember with a convivial meal in one of the huts, most huts will also rent you a toboggan or a Zipfelbob (from € 3.50 to € 6 per toboggan).
