The snow is falling and settling on the trees and the winter sun gives you that cosy feeling. The icy cold temperatures create glittering crystals on the white blanket. For many Austrians, winter is the most beautiful time of the year. Why? Because it's time to hit the slopes again. Because you can finally go for long runs on the cross-country trails again. And because, of course, it's simply wonderful to go hiking in the cold season.

Equipped with sturdy shoes and warm layers, in this Collectionwe send you on the most beautiful winter hikes, spread across the idyllic Alpine republic. Included are Tours in the sunny Wipptal, the sporty Gasteinertal and the picturesque Montafon. But also in between, in other places in Tyrol and Vorarlberg, there’s a lot to discover for people who like to hike.

So, throw on your warmest clothes and join us on Tour. Let's hike across high-altitude paths with great views and snow-covered bridges. Let's discover frozen lakes and icy summit crosses. And last but not least, let’s enjoy some steaming food in the huts and inns that Austria is famous for.
