Ah, Lüsens. You’re gorgeous, you’re snow-sure and you’re home to some of the best cross-country trails in the Innsbruck region (if not the whole of Austria). Lüsens is set in a dramatic valley close to the ski resort of Kühtai, and it’s the place to go for majestic peaks and glaciers. It’s also situated at an altitude of over 1600m, meaning the snow lasts here right through until April.
And when it comes to the trails on offer, you simply can’t beat Lüsens. From the death-defying black Waterfall Trail to the gorgeous Sport Trail (including views of the aforementioned glaciers), you are spoilt for choice. There’s even a couple of beginner trails that are almost entirely flat and great for learning. Who wouldn’t want to learn cross-country skiing in an environment as beautiful as this?!
