Sillian: Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the trail network?
Sillian has around 60 km of cross-country trails on site, which is enough for a beginner or intermediate week without daily driving.
Who is it best for?
Sillian suits skiers who want a quiet village base, and it pairs with the Obertilliach training centre for anyone who wants one harder day.
Does it need a car?
Not for the local trails, since the Sillian network starts in the village, though reaching Obertilliach or other East Tyrol areas is easier by car.
How does it compare with the big plateaus?
Sillian offers roughly a quarter of Seefeld's 245 km, so it competes on quieter trails and a southern, sunnier position rather than on scale.
What else is nearby?
Sillian sits in the Hochpustertal on the Italian border, with the East Tyrol cross-country and biathlon facilities at Obertilliach up the neighbouring valley.
