Silberregion Karwendel
September 29, 2025, Hecherhaus in der Winterzeit

In winter, the Kellerjochbahn chairlift takes you up to the Hecherhaus at 1,887 meters. There, you can stop for a bite to eat, stay overnight, or even start your snow adventure right away. You can find more information about the inn on its website: https://www.hecherhaus.at/.

Silberregion Karwendel
September 29, 2025, Nonsalm

The Nonsalm is an alpine pasture in a sunny location at 1,785 meters. Since the wooden huts are closed in winter, the view from one of the benches promises pure relaxation and tranquility. For those looking for something a little more exciting, you can also whizz down the toboggan run from here.

St. Charles' Church in Volders is a stunning example of early Tyrolean Baroque and is dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo. Built in the 17th century, it impresses with its central dome, six additional domes, and a magnificent fresco by Martin Knoller. Particularly noteworthy are the high altar and the tombs of important figures. The church is easily accessible by bike, as it is located near the Inntal Autobahn and can be comfortably reached via cycle paths in the Inn Valley. A bike ride there combines culture and sport, offers a picturesque glimpse into Tyrolean architecture, and also makes for a relaxing excursion through the surrounding area of Volders.
