Cross-Country Skiing Trails

8.3 km classic style, 4.9 km skating

From the car par at the edge of the village you follow the sloping terrain for 10 km before you return to the starting point. A warm-up track with almost no change in altitude is available as well.

The entrance to the trail is directly at the Hotel Bergwelt in the hamlet of Au. (northernmost hamlet of Längenfeld) At first you glide along the flat lane. From about half of the route to be laid back, the circuit leads alternately gently up and down over a pastureland back to the starting point. Due to the strong sunshine, this trail is often no longer passable in spring.

1.5 km classical / 1.5 km skating

The trail runs along a short piece of woodland over fields to Oberrieder Straße, which is crossed. Next, the trail follows the right side of the Ache along an idyllic birch forest to the hamlet village Espan. Shortly before the turn in Winklen / Au, a small climb to the bridge has to be mastered. Now the trail of the Ötztaler Ache travels back to Längenfeld - to the south. Almost at the end of the round you reach the Oberrieder loop which leads past the foot of the Pestkapelle back to the Camping Ötztal.

The trail leads over the Fischbach bridge and past the only thermal spa in Tyrol - the Aqua Dome. The trail runs very flat past the hamlets of Astlehn and Runhof. After crossing the Ötztaler Ache (skis have to be shortened shortly) you continue south towards Huben. After the turn, the cross-country trail crosses the access road to the fun park and in the following woodland runs the trail in kupiertem terrain. At Astlehn you change again the side of the river and through a romantic forest the trail leads back to the starting point.
