Rubbing shoulders with winter’s more gentle side
Taking it step by step As you stride through the snow-covered landscape the snow crunches beneath your feet, the sun shines down from a blue sky, and the air is astonishingly crisp and clear. Winter hiking opens up all the magic of our beautiful countryside. The slow pace of walking is a source of meditative calm as it gives you time to pay attention to the small details around you. Over 60km of cleared winter hiking trails in the Tyrolean Zugspitz Arena invite you to enjoy the snowy landscape. You decide whether to take your time or pick up a more sporting pace as you make your way through the white idyll. There are many different paths to take you up mountain and down valley. A snowshoe hike with our mountain guide Gerd is a special experience. As a local, he can tell you a great deal about the region around the Zugspitz Arena. Away from the slopes and trails, where nothing and no one disturbs the peace and quiet, you walk in knee-deep snow through easy terrain and natural forests. Our SPA Manager Theresa will be delighted to take you to Berwang’s Winter Wonderland for a morning walk or a torchlight hike in the evening with a snow angel to finish.
Cross-country skiing skiing with your whole body As you glide silently across the landscape, your entire body is exercised and your lungs fill with mountain air while you delight in the Alpine panorama before you. Cross-country, or Nordic skiing has been enjoying a surge in popularity in recent years. The sport’s highly beneficial cardiovascular effects as well as its efficacy in exercising the entire musculatory system have no doubt contributed to this phenomenon. A vast network of cross-country ski runs (both classic and skating), over 110km in total, await you in the area surrounding the Singer Sporthotel & SPA. Both beginners and ambitious athletes will find the conditions here superb and will be able to indulge fully in the cross-country experience. Guaranteed snow is offered by high altitude cross-country ski runs as well as the circular ‘Golfrundloipe’ run with a snow cannon at the foot of the Zugspitze. For some extended cross-country fun, there are night-time runs in Hinterbichl and Heiterwang.
If you’re looking for sporting action... ... you’ll love the slopes in and around Berwang, the Obstacle Funpark, the weekly ski shows and the night-time toboggan run at the Egghof Sunjet lift.
