As well as skiing there are 40 kilometres of Langlau (cross-country tracks) throughout the valley floor. These tracks are carefully maintained by state of the art equipment.
Maps showing the routes are available and they are also on notice boards placed along the routes. Langlau skies and boots can be hired. There is a ski school there which offers group or private lessons for all types of skiing and snowboarding.
Wide walking tracks in the snow are maintained throughout the valley allowing wonderful walking through the magnificent scenery. And to the rear of the hotel there is a small nursery slope which is available to our guests at no extra charge.
The hotel offers ample storage for both skis and boots and a regular free bus service runs from the front door to the valley’s two ski lifts.
The local authorities keep the roads ploughed and gritted. There is ample free car parking space available within the grounds of the hotel.
Springtime becomes awash with colourful flowers and the freshness of the new greens on the pastures when the snow disappears and retreats back up the mountains. The melting snow releases water which cascade down magnificent waterfalls.
Any other time is ideal for walkers and cyclists. Mountain bikers can enjoy over 400 kms of excellent marked routes across valley pastures, beside numerous lakes, along forest trails, up into the mountains and beyond. Walkers will enjoy the many route options and stunning scenery!
In summertime, rafting, canyoning, tubing, kayaking, diving, jogging, paragliding, hot air ballooning, fishing, and boat trips are there to enjoy, too. Indeed, the possibilities for enjoying fresh air and crystal clear water (white water or still) are virtually endless in Inner Salzgammergut.
Autumn colours are wonderful as the countryside prepares itself for winter; the whole area becomes ablaze with reds, oranges and browns. The mellow warmth of this season makes it an ideal time for outside pursuits.
Local Amenities
Gosau has a wide range of services including a well-stocked supermarket, banks, petrol station, specialist shops, restaurants and bars, and a good tourist information centre.
There is also a large indoor swimming pool in the village. It is the policy of the authorities in the valley that no high rise buildings are permitted, therefore allowing it to retain its traditional character and splendid outlook.
