The cross-country ski-track „Lärchwald Loipe“ is part of the more than 200 kilometers long Salzkammergut trails.

The Lärchwald Trail is one of the most impressive high-altitude cross-country routes at Tauplitzalm. At 1,600 metres above sea level, it offers a unique perspective of the Ausseerland. Combine athletic challenge with breathtaking natural beauty.

The Lärchwald Trail offers ideal conditions for ambitious athletes – both in classic and skating style. Challenging climbs, technical sections and smooth descents require fitness and skill, making every lap a true experience. Even sporty holiday guests will find the perfect blend of natural beauty and athletic challenge here.

The Tauplitzalm is easily accessible via the Tauplitzalm Alpine Road. The shuttle bus is especially convenient – with the special day pass for cross-country skiing, both the ascent and descent are included.

Alternatively, you can take the Tauplitz cable cars – the ticket is valid there as well. Free parking is available at the valley station.

Tip: Thanks to its high altitude, the season is long, offering perfect conditions for both leisure skiers and athletes.

The Digitale Loipenkarte is available on the website of the Ausseerland Salzkammergut Tourist Association. Ski pass prices can be found at – www.loipenticket.at. Brochures can be conveniently ordered and delivered to any address under Prospektbestellung. All informatoins about cross country at our cross-country newsletter.
