Winter Hiking Tips from Berghotel Lämmerhof

Please contact us at reception to find out about the current conditions. We can (fortunately) not influence the weather, but we know where things are going well at the moment and where caution may be needed. Some routes can be dangerous in rare cases. However, most of the paths are secured and well prepared. You will need the following equipment on all of the tours:

  • Sturdy shoes: Even if you don't need any special equipment, the shoes are still very important! They should have good soles and be waterproof. Boots are better suited so that the snow won't fall into the shoe so quickly.
  • Warm clothing, preferably several layers. In winter it is often difficult to estimate how cold it is or how cold it will be on the mountain.
  • Sunscreen and/or hat: Never underestimate the sunrays in winter. Hiking poles: You can rent them at the reception.
  • Drinking bottle and emergency snack: If it takes longer than expected.
  • First-aid package: For us it is part of every hike.

Thanks to the poles you have, hiking in winter is like having all-wheel drive - safely allowing you to explore the Lammertal. After an extensive tour, the Hedegger Family awaits you in the warm dining room at the Berghotel Lämmerhof with hearty and refreshing cuisine. After an invigorating, warming soup, fresh salads from the buffet and the main course, you can enjoy the delicious dessert with a clear conscience - because with winter hiking, you've burned plenty of calories.
