Nordic winter sports enthusiasts can choose from 18 trails with around 100 kilometres of cross-country trails in the Pillerseetal, with a total of more than 700 kilometres of trails in the Kitzbühel Alps. Perfectly groomed trails for classic style and skating as well as the modern infrastructure will delight beginners and advanced skiers alike.
