Après ski St. Lambrecht
Those who do not want to lie down just yet after their day on skis has various opportunities to spend their evenings. "Small but fine" is the best motto for selected locations if you want to end your day in a great atmosphere, offering cool drinks and tasty snacks, such as e.g. "Gruber Alm" or "Grebenzenhaus". Good wines can be had in the wine shop "Stifterl".
Nevertheless, the direct proximity of the Grebenzen natural reserve should draw you outside. Enjoy the unique natural backdrop on a horseback ride through the deep powder snow, on a winter or snow shoe hike or on a dreamy walk. The Benedictine Monasty offers winter guides.
How about a bit more spectacular activieies? The 4 km toboggan run is the perfect alternative for you. It starts at Grebenzenhaus and, on a wavy and partly steep slope, goes down to the Pabstin valley station. If you prefer relaxation, a trip to nearby Dürnstein with its thermal bath Wildbad is recommended.
