WALKING ON SNOW - WINTER WALKING GUIDE
These winter paths are divided into 4 m wide horse and sleigh tracks/footpaths, suitable for sleighs and walkers, and winter footpaths, some of which are only 1 m wide.
Our plan attempts to combine the two types of paths to a single walking system, similar to a summer circular network of paths and contains suggestions of how to walk the various circuits on the Ramsau high plateau.
