More than skiing ..

A lovely hiking path leading through striking scenery leads down to Auffach from the Schatzbergbahn middle station. All those who love exercise combined with plenty of fresh air should do the hike on the circular path on the Reither Kogel. Starting from the top station a moderately undulating trail leads through snow covered countryside.

  • An exhilarating way of zooming down a mountain is on a toboggan. The more ambitious can reach the start of their chosen run on foot whilst others will find a ride with the Schatzbergbahn in Auffach or the Lanerköpflbahn in Niederau that brings them to the start of a toboggan run more convenient. There are
