Although it is far too warm for the season, I managed to go for a proper winter hike on Sunday.
We started our hike at the shore of a water supply dam at 1000 m of altitude, and walked into a shadowy high valley, the Gauertal. Soon we hiked on snow, and had to take care not to collide with skiers or sledgers on their way downhill.
Our planned destination was a mountain chalet, where we had lunch and rested, before we put on snow spikes and hiked back down again.
Hiked distance: 14 km/ 8,7 miles, ⬆️⬇️ 750 m / 2360 ft
