Winter hike from Lake Karer to the Häusler Sam alpine inn

The hike begins at the Lake Karer parking lot. From there, an underpass leads under the road; then follow the path to the right along Lake Karer.
Soon you reach path [8], which leads towards Obereggen. Follow this wide, groomed winter path through the snow-covered forest.
After about 30–40 minutes, the path [S] – the Sam path – branches off to the right. This leads with a gentle ascent to the Häusler Sam alpine inn.
