A winter walk in Karersee | Carezza on the traces of Empress Elisabeth, past the historic Grand Hotel to the Elisabeth Monument.

This easy and nice winter hike along the Sissi Promenade at Karersee | Carezza takes winter hikers in the footsteps of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, also known as Sissi. The path, named after her, was one of her favorite walking routes. At the beginning of the tour, you pass the historic Grand Hotel Carezza, where the Empress resided during her stays. The route then leads past old farms through a picturesque winter landscape offering breathtaking views of the Latemar and ends at the Sissi Monument, which was erected in her honor.
