Cross Country Skiing Göllerloipe, St. Ägyder Gschaid, Niederösterreich

Organized by: Peter Levenitschnig

Date: January 26th 2008

Description, Grade of Difficulty:
The cross-country trail is situated just beside Mount Göller, at a height starting from 1.000m, fairly level into a valley and back, so it is also suitable for beginners and children. Away from traffic, nice view to mountain. If the sun is shining, it is smiling on the trail for some hours around noon. Length about 4 km. Parking lot and "Gasthaus" also available. A second trail shorter and still easier is nearby. Admission to the trails is for free, a little donation requested.
Ägyder Gschaid is a pass, situated about 35 km northeast of Mariazell.

Meeting time and place: Parking lot of Gasthof "Am Gscheid" (at St. Ägyder Gschaid, opposite of Göllerloipe): 10.00 a.m.
Ending time: End of our sports activities probably between 3 and 4 o'clock, end of trip depends on our social drink afterwards.

Route by car:
Vienna - Westautobahn A1 - St. Pölten, exit Süd - (direction to Mariazell) - Lilienfeld - Freiland - St. Ägyd am Neuwalde - St. Ägyder Gschaid.
Driving time by car from Wien-Hütteldorf appr. 1 1/2 hours.

Car sharing:
I can offer 1 seat in my car (transport of skies possible).
For more car sharing see "Registration...".

Equipment:
Bring your own skis or rent them at the Gasthaus (approx. € 7 per day). Renting comprises skis, shoes and sticks, but bringing along your own thin sport socks is a good idea. Clothing similar to gear for running: Not too warm, sweat absorbing, additional layer for breaks in between. Sun glasses, sun cream, thermos flask with hot drink (optional).

REGISTRATION REQUIRED!
Please register at our monthly meeting in January. If you missed that, please register by email and state if you need or can offer car sharing, how many seats, if you want to hire ski equipment at the Gasthaus (for grown-ups or children) so I can make a reservation. I shall try to coordinate car sharing. Don't forget to enter your name, phone number and e-mail address. Thank you!
