Ski touring and snowshoeing

Off-piste

The St. Oswald ski area was originally developed as a touring area. The treeless terrain of the Nockberge with its gentle slopes is ideal for this. However, caution is advised when venturing into open terrain! We recommend that you only go and plunge into this adventure with experienced guides who know the local nature and are familiar with the area.

We at Hotel DIE POST will be happy to help you organise a suitable mountain professional!

Winter hiking country

Winter hiking is particularly beautiful in the gentle Nockberge mountains. The romantic path in the valley or up the mountains. You can explore the perfect Nockberge terrain with or without snowshoes. The Nocken, those gently rolling mountain ranges, entice with easy tours. Those who want to leave behind the cleared winter hiking trails can look forward to a snowy adventure. We show you the most beautiful places every week.

There are also 3 winter hiking trails with wintry summits! From Kaiserburg, Brunnach and Nockalm you can enjoy wonderful panoramic hikes on paved winter paths.

Tobogganing fun for the whole family

Rapidly down the mountain

Children love tobogganing on small hills or long runs and adults also become children again when they race down the toboggan run at breakneck speed. The pistes around the Kaiserburgbahn, right next to the POST, are ideal for this.

A toboggan run is already a wonderful experience during the day, but in the evening in the dark, tobogganing is a real adventure and an unforgettable experience during your winter holiday in Carinthia.
