Winter hiking in the evening
THE MAGIC OF THE NIGHT
Winter or snow-shoe hikes in the evening are a special experience. When the sky is clear, the stars shine bright, the snow glistens in the moonlight and the stillness of the night lends a very special atmosphere.
Some routes are lit after dark, which adds to the fascination of night-time winter hiking in the Zillertal.
