    Very beautiful winter hike to the idyllically situated Schattenlaganthütte.

    From the end of the village of Brand (Palüdbahn car park), this circular tour leads left of the Alvier stream into the valley into the so-called “Schattenlagant” – a beautiful valley that is untouched in winter. The unprepared hiking trail continues to wind slightly uphill until you reach the Schattenlagant road a little above the “Untere Schattenlagantalpe”. From here it is a short stretch on the road, which is prepared in winter, to the Schattenlagant hut. Return the same way or, if conditions are avalanche-safe, along the Schattenlagant road.

    Please note: Due to high avalanche danger, this trail may be closed. Information about this can be found in the winter report or at Brandnertal Tourismus.

    After a leisurely stop at the Schattenlaganthütte, the toboggan run on the Schattenlagantstraße at the southern end of the village of Brand leads back down to the starting point in many large and small curves. Sledding can be borrowed directly from the Schattenlaganthütte! Please reserve in advance by phone!
