The first part of the trail is partly prepared depending on the snow conditions. A leisurely snowshoe hike with few ascents and a fantastic view. Return to the Michaelerberghaus along the same path.

Equipment
In winter, caution is advised even on seemingly easy hikes. In shady areas, the ground can be slightly icy, and there may be avalanche danger below slopes. Mountaineering is therefore primarily a matter of personal responsibility – even more so in winter. Tourist associations and avalanche warning services assume no liability whatsoever based on the information provided.
