If you visit Mauthausen during the winter and are staying in town for a few days and like to snowboard or ski why not take a small excursion over to the local mountain of Hinterstoder. Drive into Lintz only 20 miles away or take the train to Lintz from Mauthausen. If you have a car park it at the train station in Lintz and take a train up to Hinterstoder mountain.
