Pirschling and Schönkahler, 1688 m

A pair of snowshoe summits for connoisseurs: Almost like a swallow's nest, the handful of houses of Oberhalde cling to the steep mountainside above the Tyrolean village of Zöblen. One of them is the Gasthof Zugspitzblick. The charming views of the valley alone make this popular stop worth a visit. From this high-altitude hamlet, only the tracks of wild animals and a solitary snowshoe trail, where the occasional casual hiker in low-cut shoes curiously ventures a little way towards the mountains, wind their way through the otherwise untouched white carpet. Apart from the Einstein, which is inaccessible from this side in winter, no other mountain destination seems to appear far and wide north of the Vils river, no matter how eagerly one might search for it... The tranquil surroundings are dotted only with simple wooded hilltops. Actually ideal for hiking on snowshoes gliding across the glittering hoarfrost. And yet! After a few loops, a real summit slope suddenly makes a distinct statement in the expansive highlands. And behind it, another one! Pirschling and Schönkahler – the quintessential Tannheim snowshoe peak pair, which not only beginners will enjoy.
