Lake Piburg is not only a vacation highlight in summer. In winter it offers unforgettable ice skating moments. When the lake freezes into a glistening icy surface, you can lace up your skates and glide elegantly over the ice.
The Ötztal-Piburg toboggan run is the perfect choice for people looking for a little adrenaline kick. The run stretches over 3.5 km (2.2 miles) and offers an exciting descent through the snowy landscape.
