Cross-country skiing & Biathlon in Osttirol

Cross-country skiing in East Tyrol is more than movement – it’s a way of life.

Here, where almost 300 kilometres of freshly groomed trails wind through quiet valleys, sunny plateaus and snow-covered forests, nature, performance and genuine hospitality come together in a winter moment that lasts. East Tyrol stands for vastness, tranquillity and grounding – turning cross-country skiing into an experience for body and mind.

Train where world champions start.
At the internationally recognised Biathlon Centre Obertilliach, the season begins as early as November. But even beyond professional sport, you’ll find trails leading through pristine landscapes – from the Villgraten Valley to the Grenzland Trail or the high-altitude tracks on the Dorfberg.

Health and wellbeing on track.
East Tyrol consciously invests in the health benefits of cross-country skiing: fresh air, rhythmic breathing, low-impact activity – combined with alpine calm. A holistic approach that strengthens the body and frees the mind. “Health cross-country skiing” here is not just a term, but a promise.

Sustainable and connected.
Buses and trains take you comfortably to all trailheads – from Sillian to Prägraten, from Obertilliach to Lienz. Everywhere you’ll meet people who love their homeland and share that feeling with you.
