Moderately difficult snowshoe hike via the Isartseig and Nederweg.
The route leads through open, unmarked terrain and is not maintained.
Good personal preparation and the right equipment are especially important for snowshoe hiking. Before starting the tour, it's essential to check the current avalanche report. Since the terrain is unmarked, downloading the GPX data for the route is recommended. Additionally, the SOS EU-ALP app, developed for mountain emergencies, is recommended.
Lightweight and stable snowshoes, adjusted to body weight. Telescopic poles for better grip and added stability. This equipment can be rented at numerous sports shops in the region.
Multiple layers of clothing, warm gloves, a hat, a waterproof jacket and pants, as well as winter hiking boots, are recommended.
From the Nature Park Info Center in Scharnitz, the trail follows Hinterautalstraße over a small hill, past the Taxi Mair building, straight ahead to the junction with the Isarsteig on the right. The trail leads through beautifully snow-covered forests and along the Isar, which offers a picturesque backdrop, especially in winter. At the end of the Isarsteig, turn right onto the forest road, then continue along Nederweg to Scharnitzer Alm. From there, head further into the valley until you reach the turnoff for Isarlodge Wiesenhof.
The return route leads either back the same way or along Hinterautalstraße back to Scharnitz.
By train to Scharnitz train station, then a 10-minute walk to the starting point at the Nature Park Information Center.
