Tobogganing
Tobogganing is very popular with people of all ages. An insider tip is the Brindlingalm natural toboggan run on Hochschwendberg. From the Möslbahn cable car station on Schwendberg, it goes through idyllic spruce forest to an alpine pasture with panoramic views and, from there, rapidly down into the valley on a toboggan.
The natural toboggan run from Gasthof Wiesenhof in Mayrhofen is very popular too. There is also a 7-kilometere toboggan run for the whole family on Gerlosstein that is floodlit in the evening.
Cross-Country Skiing
There are cross-country ski trails in the immediate vicinity of Moni‘s Apartment. The groomed trails are partly suitable for skating too. A 25-kilometre regional trail goes from Zell am Ziller to Mayrhofen. You can choose between leisure, marathon, sprint and professional trails in the holiday region.
Other outdoor activities in winter
Winter hikes through the romantic snowy landscape are also very popular. We will be pleased to give you a few tips about the best routes too!
In addition to snowtubing and snowboarding on Penken, the artificial ice rink in Mayrhofen is also available for ice skating, ice hockey or curling.
