I have heard though that Tirol (Tyrol) is excellent for cross country, so in the meantime you might want to check out the "<a href="http://www.tyrol.com/xxl/_area/414512/_subArea/414561/_subArea2/417944/_subArea3/417975/_lang/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">Top Tracks</a>" and "<a href="http://www.tyrol.com/xxl/_area/414512/_subArea/414561/_subArea2/417944/_subArea3/417976/_lang/en/index.html" rel="nofollow">More Tracks</a>" sections of the official <a href="http://www.tyrol.com" rel="nofollow">Tirol Tourism</a> web site. If you plan to go this year, you might also want to check out the <a href="http://www.austria.info/at/guide/118780sy,en,OEWE/objectId,RGN7at,_site,us,_area,417406,_subArea,417462,_subArea2,417774,_sysMenu,0,folder,SNOWREPORT,objSort,0,parentId,RGN7at,selBlk,CURRWEATHERBLOCK,selElem,4,selectedEntry,home/snowrpt.html" rel="nofollow">snow reports here</a>, as European ski resorts have suffered from the warmest winter in a long time. Anyway, I'll leave you a comment here, when I hear from my friend. Thanks for stopping by! <strong>Update:</strong> It turns out she is only into downhill skiing, so no further suggestions, I'm afraid. Hi Simone,
I’m not much of a skier myself, but I have sent an email to a friend of mine who knows the area well and I’ll let you know here, if she comes back with anything.

I have heard though that Tirol (Tyrol) is excellent for cross country, so in the meantime you might want to check out the “Top Tracks” and “More Tracks” sections of the official Tirol Tourism web site.

If you plan to go this year, you might also want to check out the snow reports here, as European ski resorts have suffered from the warmest winter in a long time.

Anyway, I’ll leave you a comment here, when I hear from my friend. Thanks for stopping by!
