Thanks to its high altitude, the high-alpine climate and the extensive use of artificial snow, it is one of the most snow secure ski resorts in Austria.

Ice Skating in Rum near Innsbruck

Winter hiking
Snowy forests, crisp winter air and the astonishing views of the Tyrolean mountains – one can only fully comprehend the magic of the cold season on a winter hike. As sunlight falls through the snow covered pine trees, only the sound of your own footsteps breaks the silence of freshly fallen snow.
The peacefulness of the Tyrolean mountains is best experienced on foot. Enjoy the fantastic winter landscape on numerous routes, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the ski areas. Be sure to stop for a refreshment or a hearty meal at one of the mountain pastures, such as the "Rumer Alm" or the "Arzler Alm".
