Beautiful snowshoe hike from Lake Karer through the Karerwald forest to the Mitterleger viewpoint, where the Latemar can be seen impressively close.

This rewarding snowshoe hike leads through the Karerwald forest with views of the Latemar. From Lake Karer, which is usually covered with ice and snow in winter but still retains its mystical charm, you go to the Mitterleger viewpoint, a nice small clearing in the forest where you can admire the Latemar up close. The peaceful atmosphere and untouched landscape make this excursion an ideal experience for nature lovers seeking tranquility and relaxation as well as a great view.
