Hi Everyone!
Could I get some of your input and advice?
We are a early 30s couple, done a couple of hikes in New Zealand and Alaska.
Really love scenery and good food/experiences.
We have about 14 full days. & would like to ask about possibility of doing a road trip.
Is hiking alright during late November to mid December? We also don't mind mid to end December.
How possible is it to do the Dolomites and Innsbruck/ Hallstatt/ bressanone?
Thank you
Jill
Jill, I guess "alright" depends on how much winter (snow/ice/cold) hiking you've done? Just an example:

Ski season in the Alps begins mid December. Hiking in the higher elevations may not be possible because of snow. Some areas clear the snow for a walk path and in the valleys it can be easier. You could use snow shoes?
Thank you for your kind replies, well to be honest we haven't done much ice/snow hiking!
The only time we walked through ice was at the top of Mueller track in New Zealand!
So well maybe other than travelling a bit further south, we wouldn't be doing much of hiking then.
What activities are there to do during winter?
Since it seems pretty quiet near to Christmas, we may instead travel from Nov 24 to Dec 9.
