Winter walks
Simply beautiful.
Racing against your dad, hurtling over a jump you've just built yourself, or leaning into the curves at lightning-fast speeds. Children love sledding. And for adults, it bring backs wonderful memories of days past. But for those who prefer a gentler pace, Werfenweng is also home to magical winter hiking paths, accompanied by scenery you'll not soon forget. After all, it is often the small things in life that bring us the greatest joy of all.
It doesn't always have to be skiing. Winter hikes and sledding are every bit as much fun.
The snow covered landscape radiates a certain kind of magic. The sun beams change the natural environment into a sea of glittering gem stones.
