Walking in a Tyrolean winter wonderland in the Tannheimer Valley

Hiking in a magical winter wonderland around Tannheim

Walking is one of the loveliest ways to enjoy nature. While walking is a common summer activity in the mountains, winter walking is often still considered somewhat exotic – which only adds to its charm. Although the days are shorter, there are still just as many different possibilities available, depending on snow conditions.

Walking in a winter wonderland in the Tannheimer Valley

And as soon as the snow has settled, Tannheim has its own 80 km of cleared or maintained winter walking trails, offering options for relaxing strolls and leisurely tours of the valley, as well as for challenging mountain hikes. Many of the winter walking trails are in the mountains, easily reached by cable car and ski-lift, making it simple for you to start wandering the high trails and enjoying the sunshine and natural surroundings.
Enjoy snowy walks in the picturesque Tannheimer Valley. Rest in cosy mountain huts with warm log fires and the scent of Jagatee (tea with rum). Delight in the mountain vistas, a white world sparkling in the sunshine. Revel in unique views and impressions.

Winter walks in the Lake Vilsalpsee nature reserve starting from Hohenfels

The walk to Lake Vilsalpsee starts right in front of Hotel Hohenfels. You will cross snowy meadows to stroll along a traffic-free road towards the bottom of the valley, where Lake Vilsalpsee lies surrounded by mountains. Breathe in the pervading peace of the nature reserve, and choose between a gentle circuit around the lake or a good tramp up the slopes. Alternatively, take a horse-drawn sleigh to Lake Vilsalpsee for a special romantic moment!
