This winter hike starts at the Paolina parking lot and leads along a well-prepared path through an enchanting snowy landscape. The path gently descends and offers impressive views of the snow-covered Rosengarten and Latemar mountain ranges along the way. You will also pass the small St. Josef Chapel. After a relaxed walk, you reach the picturesque Karer See, which in winter is framed by a thick blanket of snow and appears especially peaceful. The lake invites you to pause and rewards hikers with a unique panorama.
The start is at the Paolina parking lot behind the ski pass office. From there, follow path [6] down to the St. Josef church, turn right and walk along König-Laurin-Straße to the playground. In front of the Kupferkanne restaurant, turn left and follow the winter hiking trail to Schönblickstraße. Then, following the signs for the Karer See hiking trail [6], cross the suspension bridge to the Karer See parking lot and continue through the underpass to the lake.
