Maastohiihto Faistenau

The 60-kilometre network of cross-country skiing trails in Faistenau comprises 4 perfectly groomed cross-country skiing runs with difficulty levels ranging from easy to intermediate. Your cross-country skiing expedition starts at the sports ground (cross country skiing stadium) in the village. The trail will take you along the edge of the village to the beautiful Tiefbrunnauer Valley. The cross-country skiing runs are located in sunny areas and do not boast major differences in altitude.

In addition to the general cross country skiing runs a special night trail is available.
