Taking the mine train into the former Schwaz silver mine also takes you into a world that knows no seasons. It is a constant 12 degrees in the centuries-old tunnels, much milder than on a normal winter's day in Tyrol. An excursion to a place like the Schaubergwek is the ideal balance to winter sports activities such as skiing and cross-country skiing, which sometimes just make you tired or give you sore muscles.
The sporting winter highlight in Leutasch is the annual international Euroloppet Ganghoferlauf – the älteste Volkslanglauf Tirols, which is part of the European ski marathon race series „Euroloppet“ and „Austria Loppet“.
