snowshoe hiking "Schattseite"

Description

Trudge with your snowshoes from the Ahornsee car park towards the valley station of the Söll mountain railway. From here, hike along the Schattseitweg trail across snow-covered meadows and fields and partly along the edge of the forest to Gasthaus Bocking. Enjoy the marvellous views of the Wilder Kaiser and the tranquillity of the snow-covered winter landscape. You can follow the yellow hiking signs ‘Scheffau via Schattseite’. After a cosy stop at the Gasthof Bocking, you can take the 4060 bus back to Söll directly from here.
