The breathtaking mountain landscape of the resort Prägraten, which lies at the foot of Großvenediger at 1,312 m, is hard to surpass. Here it's entirely possible that the highlight of the week is time spent in nature and the mountains, such as on a ski tour. The close proximity to Italy can definitely be felt (and tasted!) in the culinary department. Numerous lodges and restaurants serve as cosy retreats and are very appealing with their regional specialities. Guests are offered much more in addition to classic winter sports: an ice skating rink, two toboggan runs and great cross-country trails provide the necessary variety. Enjoy rest and relaxation by choosing from various pools, massages and treatments. The close proximity to Tyrol's second-largest city, Lienz, offers great shopping and numerous sights for a change of pace.

Après-ski in Virgen Valley is rather cosy. The day is rounded off sociably here in a bar or pub. Definitely worthwhile is a visit to the après-ski bar in Hotel Goldried or in "Fun" and "Tom's Pub", which are both located in Matrei near the chair lift valley station. A toboggan party on one of the Virgen Valley's toboggan runs is lots of fun after skiing. Nature lovers should not miss a guided snow shoe hike with the Hohe Tauern National Park's keepers. The necessary sustenance after a long day's skiing can be found in countless huts and guesthouses, which entice you with regional specialities such as bacon or spinach dumplings. Later in the evening, the BB Bar is the main attraction for revellers, with trendy music and mix-your-own cocktails. Lienz, which can be reached in less than an hour by car, offers some evening treats.
