Ski holidays in Lungau

Here, you are definitely spoiled for choices: Fanningberg Family Mountain (ca. 6 km), Aineck (Katschberg) (ca. 15 km), the Grosseck - Speiereck ski area (ca. 7 km) or perhaps legendary Obertauern (ca. 24 km)? All these ski areas are less than a 25-minute drive from your apartment at Carpe Solem Mariapfarr. The ski bus to the Fanningberg, with its 30 piste kilometers, as well as other ski regions stops just 100 m from the resort and is free for our guests to use.

Cross-country, ski tours and winter hiking

Away from the popular pistes, too, you will be able to experience the beautiful side of winter during your winter holidays in Mariapfarr. 150 kilometers of cross-country trails and marked winter hiking paths draw you out into the fresh Lungau air. With snowshoes on their feet, individualists trudge out across the deep snow, while ski tourers are happy to accept the challenges of an arduous climb in exchange for the breathtaking downhill ride to come.

Sleigh rides and sledding hills

Also marvelous: enjoying the winter countryside bundled up under a wooden blanket in the back of a sleigh, or perhaps zooming down the Fanningberg on sleds with your whole family
