Rennweg am Katschberg

Rennweg am Katschberg is an accommodation location with a documented winter connection to the Katschberg ski area and a diverse surrounding area away from the slopes. In winter, a free ski bus connects Rennweg with the Katschberg ski area. This means that the specific location within the village is particularly important when choosing your accommodation: The ski bus provides a connection, but says nothing about the distance of an individual accommodation from the stop or about its facilities.

Winter and nature in Pöllatal

The Pöllatal nature reserve extends through Rennweg am Katschberg and is an important excursion area for days when the ski area is not the sole focus. A six-kilometre-long, child-friendly trail runs through Pöllatal along the Lieser mountain stream. The Bacherlebnisweg trail runs through the forest along the Lieser and teaches children about nature with the help of information boards. The two activities are therefore clearly distinct: The Bacherlebnisweg focuses on information about nature, while the six-kilometre-long trail follows the valley along the mountain stream. Another option is the Tschu-Tschu train. It starts at car park P1 or at the barbecue area in the front part of Pöllatal and travels to the end of the valley in Hinteres Pöllatal. The train can carry up to 62 people. Its specific starting point and journey to the end of the valley make it an independent activity in Pöllatal, not a statement about travelling to your accommodation. There is also a described route for a cycling tour: A family-friendly cycling tour to Pöllatal starts in Rennweg and leads to car park 1 in Pöllatal. The activities mentioned in Rennweg am Katschberg also include alpaca hikes. If you are looking for a shorter connection between places, you can consider the five-kilometre-long Blumenrundweg circular trail, which connects Rennweg and St. Peter. The Gries outdoor swimming pool in Rennweg has a 325 m² outdoor pool and an adjoining sunbathing lawn.
