There are few more memorable places than an Alpine village in the winter. Karwendel is a remarkable place. Truly a fairytale setting. We arrived from Innsbruck via Absam, which is itself a quaint little village. From there it wasn’t hard to travel up the short valley and into Karwendel park. The scenery is stunning, with crisp mountain air and snow-covered peaks. Our only minor regret was not being able to see the amount wildlife on display in spring and summer. Still this is a small complaint to what was, overall, a really beautiful place to visit.
