Sports & Activities
... in summer
Numerous signposted hiking and mountain bike tours start right on the doorstep in summer, while cosy mountain huts invite you to stop for a bite to eat. In the many crystal-clear streams, "little and big treasure hunters" can look for the almandine garnets found here. A swimming pond and a beach volleyball court in the village centre provide plenty of variety.
4 golf courses within a radius of 15 - 40 minutes by car make every golfer's heart beat faster and enable a varied golf safari.

Donnersbachwald is an Eldorado for snow fans of all ages in winter. Carve turns on snow-sure slopes, perfectly groomed and award-winning pistes, stop for a bite to eat or enjoy the apres-ski life.
Deep snow and freestyle cracks will find untouched powder runs, and the Cross Ride Track, a groomed track over hills, steep turns and through tunnels, is new.
The Riesneralm children's ski area is second to none, a separate 5 hectare area with 5 lifts such as the Tellerblitz, magic carpets, a wave run and the top Magic Snow ski school, an all-round package to inspire your kids.
Enjoy gliding through the high valley on cross-country skis, 16 km of trails invite you to do so (the entrance is only 350 m from the chalet), or explore the Donnersbach valley on winter hiking trails.
Have fun on the 3500 m long natural toboggan run from the Mörsbachalm to the village, you can master the 330 meters of altitude either on foot or with the toboggan cab, sledges are available to guests of the chalet.
For a change, spend a day in the Grimming thermal baths in Bad Mitterndorf, swim in the 34 degree thermal water indoors and outdoors, relax in various saunas and much more.
