The beautiful village of Matrei is amid the highest mountains in East Tirol. You will find the Goldried cable car on the southern side of Matrei, which you can take up to the pistes of the Matrei-Kals ski resort. This is the ideal resort for skiers and snowboarders looking to avoid the crowds and queues. There are also plenty of options for cross country skiers. The 25-kilometre-long cross-country trail starts at Mitteldorf, roughly 5 kilometres from Matrei. Although Matrei is one of the lesser-known ski resorts in Austria, there is plenty to keep you entertained there, including luging, parasailing, bowling, indoor tennis, and ice skating. Of course, there is also a sauna and solarium in Matrei, if you would prefer to relax for the afternoon. You can even book a horse and sleigh tour through the resort! In the centre, you will find some lively bars, great restaurants, and plenty of nice shops to enjoy.
