Piste hikers in the ski resort Gaissau-Hintersee
Up to the Anzenberg... Or would you prefer the Wieserhörndl?
In winter, Hintersee looks like a fairytale landscape covered in deep snow. During a piste hike, you have the time to let the magic cast its spell on you, so you completely forget the stresses of everyday life. Piste hikers have three trails to choose from in Hintersee. And if you are not yet completely confident on touring skis, then the "Loibersbachhöhe tour skiing practice track" is perfect for you.
