Hintersee discovery trail
8–10 km through snow-covered forests around Hintersee. A varied route for those who have a bit more time.
Winter hiking at Hintersee
Three marked routes start right from the hotel — for families, the curious, and quiet walkers.
Hintersee lies in the Salzburger Salzkammergut, nestled between the peaks of the Osterhorngruppe. In winter, snow blankets the forests and lakeside paths — the trails remain easy to walk. Three signposted routes start near the village center and are also suitable for dogs.
The three winter walking routes
