This winter hike from Obereggen is ideal for those who love snowy landscapes, sunny panoramas and cozy alpine huts. The gentle route leads through peaceful winter scenery to several inviting mountain huts, where traditional South Tyrolean dishes and warm hospitality await. For those seeking more adventure, the trail can be extended to Reiterjoch Pass for stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Perfect for families, leisure hikers and anyone who enjoys active moments in winter without too much effort.
The winter hike begins at the upper parking lot in Obereggen (approx. 1,550 m). From there, follow the well-marked Alpine Trail [9], which gently climbs along the sledding path through snow-covered woods. After about 40 minutes, you reach the Epircher Laner Alm, a cozy spot for a break.
Continue along the same trail for another 30 minutes to the Mayrl Alm, also open in winter. For a longer option, hike up to the Reiterjoch Pass, where the Ganischger Alm and Zischg Alm offer breathtaking mountain views.
Return on the same trail back to Obereggen.
