The sun-spoilt town of Virgen lies at 1,200 m above sea-level, south of the alpine divide, in the Hohe Tauern national park, between the Großglockner and the Großvenediger. In Virgen, you will search in vain for the hustle and bustle that you normally find in large ski resorts. Winter sports fan who prefer it the quieter way are at home here. In Virgen 21 km of tracked cross-country trails lead through deep snow landscapes. But also tobogganing parties on the lit natural tobogganing run and snowshoe hiking ensure cheerful entertainment in an idyllic winter landscape. The nearby resort Matrei offers diverse pistes for ski and snowboard fans. In the evenings, the bars and restaurants in town invite you to cosily let the day fade away.

Après ski in the Virgen Valley is rather cosy. A day's skiing quietly fades away in a bar or pub with great friends. Especially recommended is a visit to the aprés ski bar in the Hotel Goldried or in Tom's Pub Bar, which are both located in the valley station of the Goldried chairlift. Nature lovers should not miss out on a guided snowshoe hike with the gamekeepers of the national park. Later in the evening, the "BB-Bar" in Matrei attracts night owls with funky music and self-mixed cocktails. A great source of amusement after skiing is a tobogganing party. In Virgen the lit, natural tobogganing run "Würfelehütte" offers pure entertainment with a length of 2.1 km.
