• 20km of winter footpaths taking you out of the pretty village and into the surrounding picturesque landscape. Alternatively take a snowshoe walk into a hidden winter world of nature and tranquility. Guided walks are offered including full moon night tours for a truly unique experience.
• Try cross country skiing with over 20km of marked trails around the area. Equipment and lessons can be booked locally.
• Take a horse drawn carriage ride. Walk along the valley to Lech and enjoy a romantic sleigh ride back to Zürs.
