Why cross-country skiing?

The benefits

Few sports strengthen the muscles and protect the joints like cross-country skiing. Moving in fresh air releases endorphins, the body’s natural mood boosters. The power you exert creates a thrilling sense of speed. Suitable for all ages, cross-country skiing represents freedom, fun, and zest for life.

Niederthai, 6 km from Camping Ötztal Arena, has been awarded the Tyrolean cross-country skiing seal of approval for its trails. All trails are free of charge and are suitable for skating and classic skiing.
