Quiet paths, wide views

Winter hiking with a view

If you prefer to stay off the slopes, winter hiking offers pure relaxation amid the snowy mountain world. Around 20 km of well-maintained winter trails – some groomed, compacted, or cleared – lead through a sparkling landscape of light, snow, and ice. Plus a panoramic view that invites you to pause and take it all in.

Equipment tip: winterproof shoes with good grip, warm clothing, and trekking poles – and you're ready to go!
