Winter invigoration in Naturhotel Kitzspitz
Non-skiers love it here with us in winter too
The air in winter is particularly clear and invigorating and the glistening white natural landscape is particularly charming. Exercise out in the fresh air in the winter strengthens your immune system. So there’s nothing like putting on your warm winter clothing and heading out into the natural surroundings! Whether you are enjoying the healthy forest air in the snow-covered forests while forest bathing, or re-energising in the sunshine and topping up your vitamin D for the rest of the winter.

Head out on ski tours
Head out on a ski tour to the loveliest viewing mountain in Pillerseetal, our local mountain - the Buchensteinwand - and be rewarded with fantastic views to the surrounding wintry mountain world from the summit or from the Jakobskreuz. Twice a week there is also a tour ski evening here.

Winter hiking
Head out straight from the hotel winter hiking on one of the 100 km paths in Pillerseetal.
Our tip: A hike to sunny Hoametzl Hütte in Hochfilzen or to the Tennalm in Fieberbrunn. A hike around snowbound Pillersee is an experience in the winter.
