Slow Travel in Warth-Schröcken.

Between snow-covered peaks and idyllic Walser villages, winter in the heart of the Arlberg turns out to be a place of peace and contemplation - without sacrificing sporting activities.

The winter trail leads towards Warth through an idyllic, snow-covered winter landscape.

It crunches underfoot. Snowflakes fall gently on pristine slopes. Add to this a landscape that seems to have fallen out of time in its winter splendour. Warth-Schröcken on the Arlberg invites you to consciously experience winter - away from the hustle and bustle and mass tourism. Here, in the middle of original Walser villages and snow-sure mountain worlds, winter becomes the stage for a special kind of travelling: slow travel. It has long been more than just a passing trend - rather a conscious decision in favour of slowing down, experiencing nature intensively and being mindful.
And this is exactly what Warth-Schröcken offers. The region not only impresses with its idyllic landscape and numerous places of power, but also with its versatility: snowshoeing, groomed winter hiking trails and cross-country ski trails, mindful forest bathing and lantern hikes make Warth-Schröcken an Eldorado for all those looking for a conscious time-out in winter, in addition to classic piste sports.

Those who prefer to go out on their own will find numerous prepared winter hiking trails - ideal for relaxed walks or sporty Nordic walking tours through a magical world of tranquillity. Perhaps to the Körbersee? It is more than just a mountain lake - it is a place of power, embedded in protected nature and framed by majestic mountains. This natural gem is one of the snowiest places in Austria and delights nature lovers in summer and winter with its unique atmosphere.

Cross-country skiing and skating fans get their money's worth on the 14 kilometres of high-altitude trails on the Hochtannberg Pass. The gentle glide through the unspoilt winter landscape is not only a pleasure for the soul, but is also one of the healthiest winter sports: it activates almost all muscle groups, strengthens the cardiovascular system and sharpens the focus on the essentials.
Tip: In the evening, the silence of the forest can be experienced particularly intensively on a guided lantern hike.
