Visitors taking the Grubenbahn into the heart of the disused Silberbergwerk mine in Schwaz, originally excavated centuries ago, discover a world without seasons in which the temperature remains at a constant 53,6°F, far milder than on a normal winter’s day in Tyrol. A trip to a place like this historical show mine is an ideal way of balancing out the effects of winter sports like alpine and cross-country skiing activities that are tiring and cause muscles to ache.

In Leutasch, the winter’s sporting highlight is the annual international Euroloppet Ganghoferlauf – the oldest cross-country skiing event in Tyrol.
