The plan was to hike the “Trail of the Witches”, a hike that starts at high elevation then descends fairly gently back to Compatsch. I was expecting chilly temps for the hike, but we arrived to find snow on the ground, and a steady wind that made it feel even colder. Trail conditions alternated between slippery with ice and slippery with mud. Under the conditions, we decided to skip the most exposed sections, instead taking a shortcut to a mountain hut (where we warmed ourselves with hot chocolate and apple strudel) before descending back to Compatch. Altogether, it was about 5 miles. #travel
