Ramsau - the "Centre of nordic skiing"

Since it hosted the Nordic World Championships, if not before, Ramsau am Dachstein has been regarded as »the« centre of Nordic sports in Austria. The high terrain of Ramsau am Dachstein serves up a trail network that is quite exceptional. 220 km of trails, freshly tracked every day, span the three tiers of this sunny plateau. The selection of trail variants is enormous and offers new challenges for all ability levels.

Fans of skating technique now also have the snow at their feet. The motions used in Nordic skating are similar to those of an ice- or inline skater.  Use is made of special skating equipment, which can also be rented locally.  In Ramsau alone, 70 km of trails are groomed daily for skiers using skating technique.
