Glistening snow, white peaks and icy lakes – welcome to winter hiking in Upper Bavaria! Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll along a lake or a more challenging mountainous hike, we’ve put together eight hikes in this Collection that are sure to amaze you!
A large network of excellent winter hiking trails runs through this region, guiding through the snow-covered landscapes that are straight from the pages of a picture book. The region also has special routes known as the Landscape Cinema Trails which transport you to exceptionally beautiful places.
Follow the traces of salt mining along the Soleleitungsweg and enjoy a magnificent view of Lake Tegernsee or discover the home of Olympic champion Magdalena Neuner. Along the Weiße Wanne circular trail in Kampenwand im Chiemsee-Alpenland, you can discover alpine pastures, covered in powdery snow, high up in the mountains.
The Garmisch-Partenkirchen offers fantastic views of the Zugspitze and its neighboring peaks. If you are looking for a family-friendly route, the Barmsee trail in Krün and Kaiserblick trail in Reit im Winkel offers gentle climbs. Each of the eight routes has its own charm and stunning panoramic views.
In this Collection, winter mountain panoramas, rustic huts and Bavarian hospitality await. Seven of the eight starting points can be reached by car or public transport. The Weiße Wanne circular trail starts at the Kampenwand mountain station so you can travel by gondola.
You don't have to worry about your meals as there are inns or mountain restaurants serving regional delicacies on every hike.
Whether you are looking for an alternative to skiing or simply want to relax in magnificent nature, leave everyday life behind and experience Upper Bavaria.
