Multiday hike

This is a cleared winter hiking trail. However, icy or slippery sections may still occur.

Stage 2 of the Seefeld High Plateau Winter Multi-day Hike connects the idyllic village of Scharnitz – also known as the “Gateway to the Karwendel” – with the vibrant center of Seefeld. The route leads through varied winter landscapes, quiet settlements, snow-covered forests, and also offers cozy refreshment stops along the way.

The stage starts at Scharnitz train station, which can be reached from Seefeld by train (included with the PlateauCard). From there, the route first follows Innsbrucker Straße to the church. Directly opposite, the trail turns right onto Hirlanda-Ellmann-Weg, which leads through a quiet residential area to Sportplatzweg. Continue along the edge of the village, where the trail merges into hiking path no. 19. This path takes you through snow-covered forests and crisp winter air to Gießenbach.

Once in Gießenbach, Gasthof Ramona invites you to take your first break – perfect for a warming pause. Cross the main road directly opposite, walk past the parking area, and then cross the railway tracks. After the tracks, turn right onto Hirnweg (trail no. 6)
