Ski touring can have a meditative effect and already after a short distance you have left behind the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This sport is not just a perfect cardio training, but gives you the opportunity to enjoy nature with all your senses. Your mind can relax and everyday life can be forgotten for a moment. The snow-covered landscape provides you with the chance to reconnect with nature.
The area around the Tannberg is perfect for ambitious ski tourers and for those, who want to try it out. Easy tours for beginners as well as tours lasting for several hours, the local ski guides will select a perfectly fitting tour depending on your know-how and fitness. The local guides will bring you to remotest and most astonishing places around Warth-Schröcken.
Since the merge of the ski areas Warth-Schröcken and Lech, you also have the possibility to undertake ski tours to Lech. The ski tours to Lech used to be very demanding, but now the lift between Lech and Warth-Schröcken can be used to shorten the tours, if needed.
