A chapel by the name of "Maria Schnee" seems like a good place for a winter hike, especially if the hike in question passes through one of the most beautiful valleys in Tirol: the Pfundser Tschey. This high valley has many small huts used by farmers in the summer months while they make hay in the valley. The chapel itself is in the middle of the valley at 1,600 metres above sea level. It was built in 2004, is always open and can be reached in around 1.5 hours.
