It doesn't always have to be skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing. Hikers can roam through the snow-covered fairytale landscape on almost 81 kilometres of cleared trails. Along the way, cosy huts invite you to stop for a bite to eat. Sit by the open fire, warm up with a cup of Jaga tea or fortify yourself with a snack for the next few kilometres – this is how you can enjoy snow walks to the fullest.
Along the approximately 81 kilometres of cleared hiking trails, there is so much to discover and see, so much fresh air to breathe, that every step becomes a pleasure – and the inns and cafés along the routes offer plenty of opportunities to fortify yourself and warm up. If you want to experience something really special, join a guided snowshoe hike. If you want to go high up, there are two options in the Tannheimer Valley for climbing a peak even in winter: the Neunerköpfle in Tannheim with the largest summit book in the Alps or the Gamskopf with the Panorama Informator in Grän.
Directions:The hike begins in the town centre and leads along the Mühlbach stream towards the district of Langenschwand. There, you cross the road and follow a track that leads up to the Höhenweg trail. This path offers impressive views of the surrounding landscape and initially leads high above Jungholz. The trail then descends slightly, passing the idyllic Moorweiher pond, which is particularly charming in the winter silence. The route continues to the district of Gießenschwand, from where you can return to the town centre on the road. The hike combines nature experiences with beautiful views and ends back in the heart of the town.Tip:
Hiking along the Letter Trail.Safety guidelines:
It should be noted that winter hiking also carries an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the trails in winter. Suitable clothing, good footwear and possibly hiking poles provide additional safety. Stay on the marked trails.Equipment:
Modern and well-maintained equipment (shoes, poles and clothing) not only provides a considerable degree of safety but also makes winter hiking much easier. Sun protection (high protection factor and possibly sunglasses) and sufficient fluids should not be forgotten.
