When winter reaches Zauchensee, the high valley is transformed into a fairytale world in which silence, snow and light form a special harmony. The magic of the place becomes apparent as soon as you arrive: the snow-covered forests, the mountains enveloped in a glistening blanket of snow and the clear, cold winter sky that stretches across the landscape. In this tranquil Alpine setting, you will find a place where you can take a deep breath and leave everyday life behind.
Zauchensee is known for its impressive altitude, which makes winter particularly snow-sure. The snow-covered slopes, which are delicately enveloped by the snow cannons, look as if they have been coated in powder and invite you to enjoy winter sports at their best. But the magic of winter also unfolds away from the pistes: on a walk along the frozen lake, where the ice cracks mysteriously, or when looking through a bridge at the peaceful interplay of snow, water and light.
When the sun disappears behind the peaks and the winter chill glides over the landscape, that quiet moment arises that makes Zauchensee unique - a natural magic that warms the heart and touches the soul.
