Winter landscape at Lake Traunsee

Winter

Winter in the Salzkammergut

In the colder months, the region around Ebensee reveals a quieter side – clear, reduced and close to nature.

When snow covers the landscape and the paths become quieter, special moments arise around Lake Traunsee – often away from the more frequented areas.

On the Feuerkogel

The Feuerkogel is the region’s ski area, located above Lake Traunsee. Beyond the slopes, the plateau offers quiet paths and wide views – a place well suited for a winter day in the mountains.

Quiet by the water

Especially around the lake, winter reveals a calm atmosphere – with clear air, less activity and a more focused view of the landscape.

Winter and traditions

Many traditions in the region take place during the winter months – from the Glöcklerlauf to the Kripperlroas. More details can be found on the traditions page.
