You can take your skis or snowboard directly from the ski room to the next lift or get on the cross-country ski trail. In summer there are plenty of hiking trails and bike paths of all levels of difficulty that can be started from the apartment house. A beautiful family hike with many interesting stations such as a petting zoo, deer enclosure and forest wellness also starts in the immediate vicinity. The Austrian border is 2.5 km away.
