360° ALPENLAND

The 360° Alpenland combines experiences and places in the heart of Upper Austria that are as diverse as the landscape itself.

With 62 kilometers of pistes up to snow-sure altitudes of around 2,000 meters, Pyhrn-Priel is a hub for skiing enthusiasts and winter sports fans: the Hinterstoder World Cup ski area offers sporty descents against the imposing backdrop of the Totes Gebirge mountains, while the Wurzeralm scores with its sunny plateau and family atmosphere. Away from the pistes, the tranquil power of winter unfolds. Snowshoe and winter hikes lead to mountain huts, through snow-covered forests and glistening landscapes in and around the Kalkalpen National Park - a world of silence, clear winter air and untouched nature.

The towns bring the glow of lights and culture to the cold season: the 1,000-year-old town of Steyr enchants during Advent with its historic flair, the famous Steyr Christkindl and pre-Christmas excursion destinations. Kirchdorf an der Krems combines urban coziness with the impressive Cistercian abbey of Schlierbach. After active days in the snow, Bad Hall offers pure relaxation: in the Mediterrana thermal spa, warm thermal water, sauna world and panoramic views combine to create an oasis of calm. The cold season is the perfect opportunity to do something good for yourself: In the region, private and day spas, soothing massages and mindful moments also invite you to pause for a moment.
