It is a precious habitat, home to both people and wildlife – a place where we can breathe deeply and reconnect with ourselves. And it is exactly this space we want to protect. How, you might ask?
The winter hike to Rittner Horn starts at the Gasser Hut. Following the groomed winter walking trail, you first reach the Mair in Plun Hut and then continue via the Gasteiger Saddle. Afterwards, always follow the winter trail to Rittner Horn (snowshoes are required for the final section). Along the route, the Mair in Plun Hut, the Obere Horn Haus and the Gasser Hut are perfect for a refreshment stop. Return the same way.
