Worth experiencing. Cross-country skiing in the Seebachtal valley.

A peace-rich haven near Mallnitz
Cross-country skiing in the Seebachtal valley is a moving encounter with the majesty of nature. A mesmerising interplay of snow and light awaits.

There are places shaped by the hand of nature where the phrase “love at first sight” couldn’t be more fitting. There’s no doubt that Seebachtal valley near Mallnitz, wrapped in the silence of winter, is one of those places. Here at the heart of Hohe Tauern National Park, a panoramic, level cross-country ski trail runs through this wonder-rich world of ice and snow. A world whose winter-softened features appear so pure and untouched that your spirit soars at the immediate sense of lightness and freedom they inspire. This valley is considered one of the most beautiful high valleys in Hohe Tauern – and for good reason.

Your experience begins at the car park at the Mt Ankogel lift. A ski tour and tobogganing taxi will bring you into the valley for a fee. Entering the Seebachtal valley feels like opening a book that holds myriad secrets. The snow blankets the meadows and mountains in immaculate white. A white so pure that your gaze can’t help but linger a while, taking it in. The cross-country tracks lead through this idyllic valley like a fine thread, passing picturesque Lake Stappitzer See. You glide gently over the snow on your skis. The mountains tower into the sky all around, silent proof of nature’s unbridled power. The air, crisp and fresh, fills your lungs. You take a deep breath. And feel a new sense of freedom.

The landscape works in harmony with the joy of movement to create a meditative experience. The rhythmic repetition of step and glide leaves your thoughts feeling more buoyant with every metre. Daily life is swiftly left far behind. The further you move into the valley, the greater the feeling of bliss in your heart. When it’s time to return, you’ll have left tracks in the snow and created memories you’ll cherish until long after your return home. Memories of a valley that is a place of encounters – with winter, with nature, and with yourself.
