In the winter, the gentle slopes in the Mühlviertel and the majestic mountains in the south of Upper Austria (Salzkammergut) and the neighbouring provinces of Salzburg and Styria offer plenty of opportunity for skiing and snowboarding. In the winter semester we usually organise a skiing day with our exchange students.
