Description

This beautiful forest tour, which is very popular with the locals, starts in Hoch Imst. The trail first takes you across the impressive Hachleschlucht gorge towards Linserhof. After a short time, you will reach the Schützen memorial cross, where you will then enter the snow-covered forest via the narrow "old mountain pine path". The wintry atmosphere and the silence of the forest accompany you on this section of your snowshoe hike. Now it's time to head uphill - the trail has a few surprises in store for you, be it the wonderful views here and there or the legendary Sprisselstein. Let yourself be enchanted by the legends of the region. The snow-covered surroundings give this place an additional mystical aura. Climb further up and enjoy a fantastic view over snow-covered alpine meadows, while the imposing Muttekopf towers majestically before you. The beauty of the wintry mountain landscape will fascinate you. Finally, you reach the rustic mountain hut, nestled in the snow-covered mountains. The smoke from the chimney, the cozy atmosphere and perhaps a hot cup of tea invite you to linger. Before you make your way back, enjoy one last view of the breathtaking landscape you have traversed on your snowshoe hike. The snow-covered trees, the majestic mountains and the silence of the forest will remain in your memory.
