The winter hike along the Herrensteig leads from Welschnofen to the frozen Karer See. Gentle ascents and views of Welschnofen, Rosengarten, and Latemar await you.

This winter hike leads along the "Herrensteig" from Welschnofen to Karer See, considered one of the most magnificent Alpine lakes. The lake, located at the foot of the Latemar and especially known for its deep green water and beautiful mountain backdrop, is frozen in winter and usually covered by a white layer of snow.

From Welschnofen, the trail ascends steadily but gently to Karer See. Along the way, the Herrensteig offers repeatedly beautiful views of the picturesque village of Welschnofen. Once at the lake, a breathtaking panorama opens up with views of the impressive mountain ranges of the Rosengarten and Latemar.
