Silence between the peaks
Strap on your snowshoes and set off. Everything is quiet; only the snow crunches beneath your feet. The routes lead through the Verwall mountain range, to Lake Verwall, to the Ulmer hut. You move at your own pace, perhaps leaving the first tracks of the day. Snowshoeing reveals St. Anton’s contemplative side.
