Langlaufen im Prater

Wintersports in the heart of Vienna

Prater Hauptallee
Vienna, Vienna 1020

Viennese folk like to make excursions or sports in the Prater. They are allowed to do this since Joseph II kindly opened the area to everyone in 1766. Before it was a hunting ground for the aristocracy. If there is enough snow, you can make a walk on cross country skis, only a few stations away from the Center, the Stephansplatz. You follow the Hauptallee to the Lusthaus, and then back. The flat ground allows you to find a good rhythm. Alas, no ski rental.
