WINTER WALKING: TRINS

From the charming village of Trins we venture into three different valleys in the heart of the Tyrol, each offering an immense range of interesting and attractive walking amid spectacular alpine scenery. Walking paths ascend directly into Gschnitz and Obernbergtal Valleys where we enjoy walking along winter paths and through forests under the impressive flanks of the rugged Stubai mountains. Our journey into the Schmirntal Valley, which rises east into the Zillertal Alps, offers other equally impressive panoramas and the chance to experience an exciting toboggan run. We may also choose to explore the high rolling plateau of Maria Waldrast (1700m), a unique mountain location above Trins, which is home to a former mediaeval Servite monastery. Each walk allows us to stop for refreshments in traditional mountain huts, where we have the opportunity to savour some traditionnal Tyrolean cuisine.
