Wald Im Pinzgau

Wald im Pinzgau is a real alpine village. The Salzach rises on the municipal territory and reaches the village as a lively, rushing mountain stream. Up the valley you reach Königsleiten and from there the high situated ski area of the Zillertal Arena, down the valley the very family friendly Wildkogel Arena and the pretty alpine villages Neukirchen am Großvenediger and Bramberg am Wildkogel. Here in the Zillertal Alps you can enjoy a wonderful panorama with a view of the peaks of the Hohe Tauern. Because the village is situated quite high, you have safe snow conditions throughout the season. Skiers can drive toll-free to the Zillertal Arena ski area or opt to take the environmentally friendly alternative with the free ski bus. Wald im Pinzgau is particularly popular with cross-country skiers.

Wald is an Eldorado for those seeking peace and quiet in the middle of an otherwise quite busy ski scene. Here, everything goes smoothly; relaxation, recreation and enjoyment are at the top of winter guests' wish lists. If you are not drawn to the slopes, then romantic horse-drawn carriage rides, extensive winter hikes or enjoyable hours in the "Kristallbad", a magnificent wellness temple with all comforts, are ideal alternative options.

In addition to the indoor pool, outdoor pool and covered slide, this swimming pool has a large sauna and various wellness rooms that can be used against payment. There is also a bistro in the swimming pool, the 'Bürgerbaron'. The Bürgerbaron is accessible both from them swimming pool and from outside. Here you can enjoy a coffee or a snack while you wait for fellow guests to finish up in the water.
Here you will find a supermarket, a bakery, a bank, several restaurants and the sports shop 'Sports & More Unterwurzacher'. ChaletsPlus together with the Walder Kirchstub'n offers a very special offer for fans of Pinzgau cuisine, with half board booking options to save you having to do too much cooking during your stay.

In the Zillertal Arena there are a lot of possibilities for freestylers. The 'Hot-Zone Snowpark' in Gerlos is located at an altitude of 2,020m and covers an area of 30,000m². Beginners as well as advanced players can let off steam here. There is also a small but popular snow park on the Gerlosplatte in Hochkrimml.

Looking for an alternative to skiing? Here, you can look forward to terrific tobogganing fun. The small toboggan run at Gasthof Finkenhof is partly illuminated in the evening and is particularly suitable for children due to the small difference in altitude. The longest illuminated toboggan run in the world is located in Bramberg am Wildkogel about 10km from Wald im Pinzgau.
