Apres-ski, restaurants and other activities in Großarltal
- Ice skating and curling take the place of the pool during the winter months.
- Indoor heated pools are available at a number of the resort's hotels and quite a few of these 'sport-hotels' also have saunas and offer a range of wellness/beauty spa treatments and massage therapies too.
- Toboggan runs, with torch-lit evening sessions, are available locally, and offer a rare opportunity to ride on one of the region's traditional super-sized transport-sleds, capable of taking up to eight passengers per sled. Torch-lit walks, snowshoeing treks, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and, for the more adventurous, tandem paragliding flights are also available.
- Apres ski in the area is, by Austrian standards, quite tame: a couple of 'umbrella' bars, such as the one at the Hotel Auhof, do stoke up a bit of afternoon jolliness, but the choice later on in the evening is limited to a couple of laid-back cafe-bars; try the Café Wurznstub'n, or the Piccolo in the market square.
