The ice thickness is regularly checked, and the lake is only opened when it is sufficiently thick. Please check before entering whether the Lake Antholz is currently safe to walk on.

TIPS FOR WINTER HIKING

SHOE SPIKES are lightweight crampons you can tie under the hiking boots, very helpful in icy smooth spots.
GAITERS for slipping over shoes and pants are helpful when hiking in deep snow, so that no snow goes in the shoes and the pants will not get wet.
Take a THERMOS of hot tea to warm up.
SUNGLASSES and SUNSCREEN are very important in winter as the snow reflects and the sun can be very strong in winter.
Dress up on the ONION PRINCIPLE and take dry clothes with you, should your clothes get wet.
TREKKING POLES WITH LARGE PLATES to better balance and test whether the snow is hard or soft.
HEADLAMP if the walk takes longer and you are surprised by the darkness.
TOUR PLANNING: it should be noted that it gets dark early in the winter, not all huts are opened and times of the hikes are not transferable to the winter, as you slow down in the snow.
