“Even during the hike from Compatsch to Mahlknechthütte, many are completely captivated; some throw themselves into the snow, savor the incredible silence, and gaze into millions of stars sparkling above them,” says Gottfried Schgaguler. “Since there is no light pollution on the Seiser Alm, no lanterns, and no car lights, you feel closer to the firmament than anywhere else.”

A two-hour walk through the snow leads to Mahlknechthütte, where the fire crackles in the fireplace, and the scent of punch fills the air, with cloves, oranges, and cardamom. In the Zirbenstube, you’ll find local dishes from South Tyrolean cuisine – and then the real fun begins: a wooden sled ride through enchanting pine forests down to the valley.
