Ice skating and curling in winter happiness
-------------------------------------------

When the temperatures drop, the south of Upper Austria shows its quiet side. You can skate your laps on well-maintained ice rinks and frozen natural ice surfaces while the peaks are reflected in the ice. **Ice skating** combines movement with lightness - a moment between clarity and the feeling of childhood.

**Curling** turns the ice into a stage for encounters. Emotion, concentration and community are what count here. Whether with family, friends or as a social gathering in the village - winter sports in 360° Alpenland mean closeness to nature and genuine tradition, borne by the Upper Austrian attitude to life.
