The Skicircus in the Fieberbrunn region is a true freeride mecca. Take on a new challenge in the Freeride Park near the Asitzmuldenbahn in Leogang. This is also where the Freeride World Tour takes place.<\/p>\n<p>Ambitious cross-country skiers will find a 220-kilometre network of trails in the municipality of Ramsau am Dachstein. The <a href=\u2018\/?p=24799\u2019>Dachstein crossing<\/a>, a ski crossing in the Alps past the UNESCO World Heritage Site, is recommended for experienced skiers.<br \/>\nAs a Biathlon World Cup region, the Pillerseetal also scores points for cross-country skiing, with over 100 kilometres of groomed trails.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\u2018wp-image-29037 size-full\u2019 src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue. com\/wp-content\/uploads\/langlaufen-pillerseetal.jpg\u2018 alt=\u2019Cross-country skiing in Pillerseetal\u2018 width=\u20191000\u2018 height=\u20191000\u2019 \/>\n<p>The leisurely ones among you can hike through the snow in Montafon on over 150 km of hiking trails and enjoy the fantastic Alpine scenery.

In addition to having fun on the slopes, you also have the opportunity to take part in the sports and activities programme with BLUEf!t. After an exciting day on the slopes, treat yourself to special feel-good moments in the BLUE Spa with steam bath and saunas, as well as massage rooms. The TUI BLUE Schladming doesn&#8217;t have its own BLUE Spa, but it does have a SkySauna with three saunas.<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast is known to be the most important meal of the day \u2013 a rich breakfast buffet is included in all TUI BLUE hotels to help you get ready for the day on the slopes. At the TUI BLUE Schladming and Montafon, half board can be booked as an optional extra.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\u2018size-full wp-image-38429\u2019 src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tui-blue-Montafon-Wellness-terrasse. jpg\u2018 alt=\u2019tui blue montafon terrasse winter\u2018 width=\u20191000\u2018 height=\u20191000\u2019 \/> Winter wellness with a view: the TUI BLUE Montafon hotel<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight that you can experience during your winter holiday in Austria away from the slopes awaits you at the TUI BLUE Montafon. Directly opposite the hotel is the Aktivpark Montafon, which has a swimming pool, ice rink, and courts for volleyball, football, and tennis.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_the_Oscar_goes_to%E2%80%A6_%E2%80%93_my_conclusion\"><\/span>And the Oscar goes to&#8230; \u2013 my conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve taken a closer look at the three TUI BLUE hotels for your winter holiday in Austria.

The hotel is located right on the slopes and offers a wide range of runs for every level. The Schladming-Dachstein region, which is part of Ski amad\u00e9, offers a large network of ski resorts.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Largest_selection_of_winter_sports_activities\"><\/span>Largest selection of winter sports activities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to winter sports activities besides skiing, all three TUI BLUE hotels score points. I recommend that you inform yourself in advance about the offers and where you can best practice your favourite winter sport.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_diverse_off-piste_programme\"><\/span>Most diverse off-piste programme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>BLUE Spa, culinary delights, BLUE F!t, hiking trails, and an activity park \u2013 the prize for the off-piste programme goes to the TUI BLUE Montafon.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\u2018size-full wp-image-29025\u2019 src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue. com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dachstein-sunset.jpg\u2018 alt=\u2019Schladming Dachstein Sunset\u2018 width=\u2019999\u2018 height=\u2019999\u2019 \/> A wonderful day on the slopes draws to a close and the sun disappears behind the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, it&#8217;s hard to pick a clear winner. Each TUI BLUE hotel is perfect for a winter holiday in Austria in its own way. While some are drawn to the best ski resort in Austria, others will find a unique winter holiday when the complete package off the slopes is right. One thing is for sure: once you&#8217;ve been enchanted by this ski and winter sports experience in the snow-covered mountain landscapes, you&#8217;ll know what it means to ski.<\/p>\n<p>Which TUI BLUE hotel would you like to check in to next?<br \/>\nLeave a comment below.
