A culinary winter hike in Tirol combines enjoyment and exercise. A winter hike is a unique nature experience - the snow-covered mountain peaks, the crystal-clear air, the snow underfoot. Many mountain huts in Tirol are also open in winter. And the food at our mountain huts is really good. It's definitely worth the effort!
Winter hikes in Tirol are a great change of pace for children. Snow simply means fun in the fresh air – on foot, with snowshoes or on a toboggan. Our well-prepared trails are safe and enjoyable. It is also important to have place to warm up and recharge your batteries. Many mountain huts and lodges in Tirol are also open in winter – with dumplings, pancakes, etc. the little ones will always enjoy it there. We recommend the hikes to the Wurzbergalm and Vilser Alm as well as the Waldweg Hög forest trail.
Tirolean alpine cuisine is as varied as our mountain landscape – almost always with regional ingredients or home-grown produce. Classics include dumplings in different variations, hot soups with garnish and, of course, the famous Kaiserschmarrn pancakes. Many huts also have a separate children's menu. From traditional Tirolean to haute cuisine, there is something for every budget and every palate. Please be aware that many huts only accept cash payment.
Those who like their food refined will find exquisite cuisine at several mountain huts. Gault Millau and Falstaff, two renowned restaurant guides, have honoured the Tirolean mountain huts many times over. We recommend trying the winter hike on the sunny Mieming Plateau or through the Kaiserbachtal Valley as well as the Schönangerrunde.
