Welcome to a Nordic skiing paradise! More than 140 km of XC trails

From leisurely cross-country trails to competition-standard trails, the 140-kilometre network of XC trails has everything cross-country skiers need to make their hearts beat faster. Featuring a flat valley floor, the high valley offers perfect conditions. The high altitude setting ensures a relatively good snow cover and a good quality of XC trails until the end of the winter. The terrain offers everything XC skiers could wish for, regardless of their ability level. After enjoying a delightful Guthof breakfast, you can step out of the door and directly access the trail that passes our house and take in the fairy-tale scenery of the Tannheim Valley.

It goes without saying that the XC trail network in Tannheim Valley was awarded the official ‘Tirolean Cross-country Trail Seal of Quality’. – Award-winning XC skiing trails.

The Tannheim Valley is among the best XC skiing areas in Europe and has received multiple awards from the German skiing association and also has the Tirolean Cross-country Trail Seal of Quality from the regional government.
