The majority of mountain lodges located outside the ski resort are closed during winter. That’s why it’s a good idea to bring your own snacks to fuel up along the way. Alternatively, you can drop by one of the many restaurants down in the valley, as many winter hiking trails are located near a village.
To come perfectly prepared for your hike, we recommend checking the current avalanche warning level before your trip. Plus, pay attention to noticeboards along the way and respect any closed-off areas.
