This easy and nice winter hike along the Sissi Promenade in Karersee | Carezza takes winter hikers in the footsteps of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, also known as Sissi.

The route then leads past old farms through a picturesque winter landscape offering breathtaking views of the Latemar and ends at the Sissi Monument, which was erected in her honor.
