One of the best things of Munich during the Winter is that is really close to the Alps. This means endless places to go skiing, snowboarding, hiking, eating Kaisersmann and drinking Glühwein in a nice Hütte, etc, etc.

This is a view from Pfuitjoch, a summit near Lähn, in Austria.
We went up ski-hiking or skitouren with some friends.

Ski hiking is tiring in the way up, but also very rewarding.

You get to see wonderful landscapes and enjoy slopes full of powder snow. If you are lucky, you get a virgin slope and then, it’s like skiing on a cloud. They challenging way up it’s then totally worth it !

I’m only a beginner in ski hiking, but I’m lucky to be surrounded by experienced skiers. You are responsible for your own safety, and the risk of avalanche is often present. But if you up to the challenge and well acompanied, I’m sure you are going to enjoy !

Enjoy the snow now, Frühling is coming !
