Mauterndorf

 

Mauterndorf in the Lungau region is a cosy winter sports village with a historic village centre that offers all the possibilities for an ideal family holiday. The skiing area Großeck-Speiereck is an ideal family skiing area with many blue and red slopes and is therefore also suitable for beginners. Some black slopes are available as a challenge for advanced skiers.

In the cosy and historic centre of Mauterndorf you will find small restaurants and shops. Bread can still be bought from the baker, butchers offer a selection of local specialities and restaurant staff still wear typical Austrian clothing. The après-ski takes place in some bars. Every winter sports enthusiast feels at home in Mauterndorf!

In addition to skiing, Mauterndorf has much more to offer, such as walks in the snow. A popular hiking trail leads from the historic market square to the ski centre, passing the imposing Mauterndorf Castle on the way. At the end of the hike, you can warm up in the restaurant Schi Alm and then make your way back. The beautiful winter landscape in Lungau is perfect for a tour in a horse-drawn sleigh. You can also ice skate on the natural skating rink at the public swimming pool.

The scenic charms and the rural area immediately create a holiday atmosphere. The Tauern mountains are still relatively high here, while the landscape is already characterised by gentle hilltops and lovely valleys. The Lungau has the most hours of sunshine in the whole of Austria!
