The cross-country ski runs are all in a sunny location and without major ascents. In addition to the existing cross-country ski trail network, a night cross-country trail is also offered. The approx. 5 km long Kugelberg trail consists of a classic trail and a skating track and is illuminated daily from dusk until 9 p.m. The entrance is located at the school sports ground. #### Kugelberg cross-country trail 5 km – night cross-country The classic + skating groomed Kugelberg trail with start and finish point at the school is very well suited for sporty beginners with some climbs. It is marked in red and illuminated every evening until 9 pm. #### Village cross-country skiing 5 km The classic + skating-paced village trail with start and finish point at the school or next to Sport Auer is very varied and a bit more demanding with several climbs. The village trail is marked orange and very suitable for experienced cross-country skiers. Restaurant options: Gasthof Botenwirt #### Tiefbrunnau cross-country trail 20 km The classic + skating groomed Tiefbrunnau cross-country trail with start/finish point school or at the two parking lots/cross-country tracks in Tiefbrunnau is very suitable for enduring beginners because of its naturalness as a pleasure trail for persistent beginners and because of its length as a training track for performance-oriented cross-country skiers.
