Snow covered mountains
and valleys, glittering
frost on the trees... Nature changes its expression and seems
to be taking its beauty sleep under a thick,
snowy blanket. |

 |
| But Snow and winter
sports enthusiasts really
come to life here: skiing,
snow boarding, ice skating, snow shoe hikes, cross-country skiing
or romantic sleigh rides
are just a few of the popular pastimes offered around this time
of year in the Mühlwalder Valley and the Ahrn Valley. |
