winter hiking tour at spitzingsee, BY

the 1st winter hiking tour of the season at lake spitzingsee. this time i was joined by my father (almost 77 years old) who is my guest in munich right now. 

this tour was easy and short, maybe 1,5 hours up the hill from spitzingsee (1,084m) via untere firstalm cottage (1,320m) to suttenstein pass (1,398m). but yes, the last few hundred meters through knee high snow from the firstalm were not easy at all, my dears ⛄

we like the bavarian alps in the lake spitzingsee area a lot. we have been at the nearby rotwand (1884m) in summer, you remember?
