    Description

    The starting point is the Gasthof Klaushof. From there, you can embark on a hike through the snow-covered landscape along the Ziller River until you reach the Häusling Inn, where you will find the "Maria Schnee" chapel. Enjoy the winter beauty of this side valley and let yourself be enchanted by the winter splendor as you approach your destination.

    In particular, during spring, it is important to be mindful of avalanche danger and potential road closures. From midday in March and April, the risk of ground avalanches reaching the road increases.
