Self Guided cross-country skiing in a winter wonderland.
Head into the village to pick up your skis, boots and poles then set off on one of the many trails in the Leutasch Valley. There are plenty to choose from, with over 150km of classic cross country skiing tracks, 112km of skating cross country trails and 143km of prepared winter walking routes in the area. Explore the picture perfect snowy landscapes to a backdrop of white capped mountain peaks, snow dusted forest and traditional Alpine huts. For a longer day out, hop on the convenient ski bus to discover the Olympic village of Seefeld. After a day out on the trails, return to the cosy comfort of the ever welcoming Hotel Hubertushof for an afternoon snack, not to mention relaxation in the hotel's excellent wellness centre. For less confident skiers or beginners, ski tuition can be arranged at the local ski school in the village. Please let us know if you would like us to arrange this service.

Buffet breakfast, afternoon snack and evening meals.
Austria is renowned for its wholesome, robust food and you will be thankful
for this after a hard day’s skiing. Typically, you will be set up for the
day by a breakfast of cold meats and cheeses, along with the traditional
bread, jam and coffee. Austrians tend to eat heartily at lunchtime and less
in the evenings; you will be well catered for at dinner. Local specialities
include Wiener schnitzel (breaded veal cutlet) and various stews of beef and
pork. Dumplings, potatoes or noodles are all regular accompaniments along
with vegetables in a style similar to English cooking. Desserts are often
fruit based - such as Apfelstrudel - or cream pastries. Rehrucken is a
traditional chocolate and almond cream cake. On average Austrians, drink
twice as much coffee as beer. There are many different types to choose from,
particularly in the larger towns and cities and are often drunk in specialist
coffee houses, known locally as a Kaffeehaus. It is often served in large
cups and finished off with a healthy dose of whipped cream.
Austrian wines tend to be sweet white varieties, similar to German Mosel
wines. The three best-known areas for producing white wines are Krems,
Klosterneuburg and Gumpoldskirchen. The main red wine producing area is
Voslau. Of course Austria is better known for its beer and you will find a
wide variety of local brews. The best known are Gösser and Augustiner Brau
and come in light or dark forms.
