Family ski holiday in East Tyrol

East Tyrol stands for unspoilt nature and small, family-friendly ski areas. The three ski areas in Obertilliach, Sillian and Zettersfeld near Lienz offer ideal conditions for enjoying winter in peace and quiet. The region scores with a wide range of offers - from gentle descents to winter excursions away from the pistes, for example through the Hohe Tauern National Park.

We recommend it because:

  • Three small ski areas with a quiet ambience and some with direct access to the city centre
  • Playfully learn to ski with BOBO the penguin or Willi the gnome
  • Ski schools with alternative activities in the snow such as snowball fights, snow tubing or tobogganing
