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.
