There are no fewer than eight lakes in Tirol which freeze over in cold winters to create natural ice-skating rinks. There are few more magical feelings than gliding across the ice under the open sky with the cold air in your face and mighty mountains on the horizon. One of these lakes is the idyllic Piburger See near the entrance to the \u00d6tztal Valley. Situated in the middle of a forest, it has a two-kilometre-long and eight-metre-wide skating track on the frozen surface which is kept in excellent condition throughout the winter. Skates can be rented from the nearby Gasthof am See<\/em>, which also has all the equipment you need for curling. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable on skates, the lake is also accessible free of charge for winter walking. The two shoreside eateries Restaurant am Piburger See <\/em>and Gasthaus Seeh\u00e4usl <\/em>are good places to warm up cold feet and enjoy a bite to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
