The snow shoe tour to the ‘weather cross’ above Obersee starts from the stop for the ski bus at Lackenstüberl. Continue to the border to South Tyrol, enjoying the wonderful view to Antholzersee – continue along the border area to the Heimkehrerkreuz and then to Oberseehütte – which tempts you in for refreshments. Refuelled, proceed then on the west banks of the lake back to the starting point.
