Trails and winter options

The options differ primarily in their format. Snow Learnland is not a circular trail, but a practice area next to the car park. People with a valid lift pass can learn and practice making their first turns in the snow there. Thus, the documented use is clearly subject to this requirement. The Letter Trail combines a themed trail concept with a specified length and duration. The winter hike via Reuterwanne and Alpe Stubental, on the other hand, is described as a route taking around three hours. Both trails are described as moderately difficult.
