Starting point of our winter hike to the Häusler Sam is the upper parking space of the Obereggen skiing area. The path no. 9 (“Karersee”) leads us through the snowy conifer forest to the Bewaller farm above the hamlet of Hennewinkl, then we follow the path no. 8 and afterwards the marker S until the Häusler Sam.

The path is wide and only short sections are a bit steeper. Clearings open the view on the surrounding alpine world (Corno Bianco, Corno Nero, Latemar e Catinaccio). The mountain hut is ideal to take a break for lunch. Our way back to Obereggen is done along the same route.
