Winter Walk
Sunny Winter Walk on the Schwendter Plateau

During the winter months the open meadows and pastures of the Schwendter Plateau are covered in a thick layer of snow. This sunny walk leads through this winter wonderland, starting in the village of Going in the Wilden Kaiser Mountains and leading around the hamlet of Schwendt. Along the way walkers can enjoy fine views of Going, the Wilder Kaiser Mountains to the north and the Kitzbühel Alps to the south. The Brennhütte hut en route serves hearty food.
