Accessible Cross Country Skiing: sledge trails in Tyrol

• Yes, on cross-country trails that meet certain conditions or have been awarded the cross-country trail quality mark
• Mostly classified as easy to intermediate trail difficulty, with wide tracks and little incline or decline
• More and more regions in Tirol are offering trails for Adaptive Cross Country Skiing

For Adaptive Cross Country Skiing, or ‘sitting ski Cross Country Skiing’, the trails must be wider, offer sufficient space for manoeuvre and, ideally, have gentler gradients. Furthermore, the tracks should be well-groomed and firm so that the sitting skis do not sink in. In Tirol, there are three regions that are making a particular effort to provide cross-country skiing trails suitable for Adaptive Cross Country Skiing.

The InNatur association offers private and group courses for people with disabilities.

More and more regions in Tirol are offering cross-country sledging trails of varying Levels of Difficulty. These are regularly inspected by the Tirolian authorities to ensure the best possible conditions for Adaptive Cross Country Skiing. As well as the condition of the trails, good infrastructure for accessible Cross Country Skiing also includes, for example, disabled parking spaces at the trailhead.
