Nesselwängle - Krinnenalpe

Description:
It doesn't always have to be skiing, snowboarding, or cross-country skiing. On nearly 81 kilometers of cleared paths, hikers wander through the snowy fairytale landscape. Cozy huts invite you to stop along the way. Sitting by the fireplace, warming up with a Jaga tea, or fueling up with a snack for the next kilometers – this is how you can fully enjoy snow walks.
Along the approximately 81 kilometers of cleared hiking trails, there is so much to discover and see, so much fresh air to breathe, that every step becomes a pleasure – with inns and cafés along the routes offering ample opportunities to recharge and warm up. Those who want to experience something truly special can join a guided snowshoe hike. Those who want to go high have two options in the Tannheimer Tal to summit a peak even in winter: the Neunerköpfle in Tannheim with the largest summit register in the Alps or the Gamskopf with the panorama informant in Grän.

Directions:

The hike starts at the lift parking lot in Nesselwängle, a central point distinguished by its good accessibility and the breathtaking mountain scenery. From here, it proceeds on a well-maintained driveway towards the Krinnenalpe. The path steadily ascends and repeatedly offers beautiful views of the surrounding snow-covered peaks and the idyllic valley. The clear, fresh air and the winter silence make the ascent particularly pleasant. After reaching the Krinnenalpe, you can take a short break there and enjoy the peaceful mountain landscape. The return route follows the same path until you reach the lift parking lot in Nesselwängle again.

Tip:

Enjoy refreshments and the view at the Krinnenalpe.

Safety guidelines:

It should be noted that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries even when winter hiking. Especially in winter, particular attention should be paid to the condition of the paths. Suitable clothing, good footwear, and possibly hiking poles provide additional safety. Stay on the marked paths.

Equipment:

Modern and well-maintained equipment (shoes, poles, and clothing) not only provides a considerable level of safety but also greatly facilitates winter hiking. Sunscreen (high factor and possibly sunglasses) as well as enough fluids should not be forgotten.
