Winter hikes in the Alps
Whether you're heading towards the end of the valley to Flading, venturing out of the valley, or taking a peaceful walk up to the ski area, Ratschings is a winter hiker’s dream. The snow muffles every sound, the air is crisp, and the landscape sparkles in the sun. For even more adventure, rent snowshoes from the ski hire at the valley station — and explore untouched paths beyond the trails. Silence, snow, and serenity — this is winter at its purest.
It doesn’t always have to be the ski slopes. Sometimes, what you truly crave is peace and stillness. Ratschings – and South Tyrol as a whole – offers so much for those seeking quiet winter magic. Whether you're gliding through fresh snow on snowshoes or enjoying a relaxed walk in sturdy, warm boots, the experience is the same: The crunch of snow, the glint of sunlight, and the joy of slowing down.
Ratschings is a paradise for winter walkers. Whether you're heading:
- To the end of the valley to Flading
- Out of the valley toward Jaufensteg
- Through quiet forests, over narrow paths, and along wild, frozen rivers
…the beauty of the snow-covered landscape is simply unforgettable. And if you're looking to explore further, the neighbouring valleys of Ridnaun, Pflersch, and Pfitsch also offer magical winter hiking routes. Lace up your boots, take a deep breath, and let the snowy silence surround you.
