You can enjoy wonderful winter hiking on the Fageralm.

From the mountain station of the Fageralmbahn, two variants for a winter hike are available to you, which you can of course also combine:

the shorter winter hike covers approx. 1.5 km and about 50 vertical meters in 45 minutes to the Trinkeralm and back.
the longer winter hike covers approx. 4 km and about 145 vertical meters in 1 1/2 hours via the Premhütte and Lechneralm to the Unterbergalm.

This way you can enjoy winter on the sunny high plateau of the Fageralm and have plenty of opportunities for a stop at one of the huts.
