Breathe in the cool, fresh winter air and enjoy the warm rays of sunshine on your face – the Bergsteigerdorf Ramsau is a true paradise for winter lovers that fascinates in a very special way during the winter months. You can immerse yourself in the snow-covered winter landscape on cleared paths, enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and listen to the crunching snow under your hiking boots. Always with a view of the wintery mountains, the Bergsteigerdorf Ramsau not only offers adventurous hikes in the valley but also attractive tours at medium altitudes. The hiking possibilities in the white splendor are almost limitless.
Please be aware of possible dangers when venturing out into the winter landscape and take precautions before you hike. Be aware of current weather forecasts, inform yourself about trail conditions and plan accordingly.
Avalanche danger in the Bavarian mountains is low. In isolated cases, wet snow can be a threat. On very steep slopes where there is enough snow, small wet loose-snow avalanches can trigger naturally. On steep slopes which are smooth, glide-snow avalanches can release. Circumvent glide cracks. Glide-snow avalanches can grow to medium size.
The snowpack in Bavaria is thoroughly wet up to intermediate altitudes. At high altitudes there are soft layers which persist beneath older snowdrift accumulations, though these are unlikely to trigger. On shady slopes the snowpack surface still has powder in some places at high altitudes, otherwise there are melt-freeze crusts, breakable crusts and, increasingly as the day unfolds, slushy snow. Below 1500m there is no longer much snow on the ground.
As a result of clear nocturnal skies and sunny days, next week will have typical springtime conditions, including a daytime danger cycle for avalanche risks.
