Winter Walking

Winter walking regions in Tyrol

Fairytale snow-covered forests, clear winter air, sweeping views over the Tyrolean mountains - the magic of the cold season can only really be realised on a winter hike.

The rays of the low sun break through the Swiss stone pine and spruce branches. Freshly fallen snow muffles every sound, only the crunching underfoot can be heard. The Tyrolean mountains are so quiet, so peaceful, cold and heart-warming at the same time. The best way to experience this magic is to go on a winter hike, far away from the lively ski slopes and bustling holiday resorts. There are numerous beautiful routes to choose from, from easy to difficult, for families as well as sporty active holidaymakers. The 9 Tyrolean winter hiking regions pay special attention to these gentle nature experiences. Here, cleared hiking trails lead through fantastically beautiful landscapes, cosy mountain huts with crackling open fires invite you to stop for refreshments and experienced nature park guides tell you exciting stories about the flora and fauna of winter.

The highest peaks in Tyrol, the largest national park in the Alps, above-average hours of sunshine - if that's not a good basis for an unforgettable winter hiking trip? One village in the south of East Tyrol stands out in particular.
