In Piesendorf Niedernsill, around 40 kilometres of winter hiking trails await everyone who wants to experience the snow calmly and consciously. Snow-covered meadows, clear winter air and the mountains around Zell am See-Kaprun accompany you step by step. Particularly beautiful are the Fürth round in Piesendorf with approx. 8 kilometres and the Hummersdorf round in Niedernsill with approx. 10 kilometres.
Winter hiking is ideal for guests who want to be active without skis and still make every day varied. You do not need much - warm clothing, sturdy shoes and time for the little winter moments. When the snow sparkles, the landscape becomes quiet and your breath is visible in the cold air, winter shows its especially romantic side.
A special experience is the winter hiking trail on the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See. From the trassXpress mountain station, the trail leads over the Schmittenhöhe summit towards Sonnkogel. Along the way, you pass the Elisabeth Chapel, sunny resting places and sculptures from the “Art on the Mountain” exhibition.
Once you arrive at Sonnkogel, an impressive panorama over Lake Zell, the snow-covered mountains and the Zell am See-Kaprun region awaits you. The entire winter hike takes around 2 to 2.5 hours and is ideal for everyone who wants to combine mountain air, views and movement away from the ski slopes.
If you want to dive even deeper into the winter landscape, discover the region on a snowshoe hike. A particularly beautiful tour leads through the snow-covered Wasenmoos high moor at Pass Thurn. There, you hike through safe terrain, enjoy views of the Hohe Tauern and experience winter up close - step by step through the silent snow.
After the tour, the Hochmoorstüberl invites you to take a cosy break. With coffee, cake or a warm snack, your winter excursion comes to a particularly lovely end.
In the entire winter hiking trail network of Piesendorf Niedernsill, dogs must be kept on a leash. On some trails, dogs are strictly prohibited. In Hummersdorf, near the Salzach bridge, there is a dog meadow with a free-run area for four-legged friends.
