    The winter hiking trail leads past the Riedboden lift to the vantage point "Spielhahnplätzle". From here, enjoy the magnificent view over the Klostertal valley to the Swiss mountains.

    This winter hiking trail starts at the mountain station of the Sonnenkopf cable car and leads along the ski slope crossing the drag lift with a subsequent slight ascent to a flat high plateau. Continue in a westerly direction, partly along the northern edge of the terrain, to the western end point of the tour. Very sunny and extremely quiet area with numerous resting benches and wonderful views of the Lechtal Alps as well as the Walgau, the Klostertal and up to the Arlberg.

    All winter hiking trails are equipped with cosy and wind-protected winter benches.
