Our tips for rainy days.
Rainy days in Warth-Schröcken – When the weather changes your perspective.
There are days when the mountains disappear into the clouds, rain drifts quietly across the valleys, and the landscape seems almost still. In Warth-Schröcken, this is no reason to stay indoors – quite the opposite. It is precisely on days like these that the region reveals a particularly intense and atmospheric side of itself.
Waterfalls carry more water, forests feel deeper, and the mountains appear even more mysterious. Those who embrace it soon discover that rainy weather can be a memorable experience in its own right.
Nature experiences – exploring the outdoors despite the rain.
Who says hiking is only enjoyable in sunshine? When fine raindrops fill the air and mist drifts through the valleys, nature reveals a unique kind of magic. The forests smell richer, waterfalls roar more powerfully, and the mountain landscape takes on an almost mystical character. With waterproof clothing and the right mindset, rainy days become an opportunity to experience the Alps in their most authentic and atmospheric form.
- Körbersee (Hochtannberg Pass): A wide, well-maintained path leads to one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the region. Particularly atmospheric in mist and rain. Refreshments are available at Berghotel Körbersee.

Active & sporty – keeping moving indoors.
When the clouds linger above the peaks for a while, there is still no need to miss out on exercise and adventure. Whether climbing, bowling or a wide range of indoor sports activities, the region offers plenty of opportunities to stay active and take on new challenges.
