Each day is different and there is something unique about every season:

• ❄️ Winter (Dec–Mar):
  A frozen lake, snow-covered forest and fairytale-like ambience worked as well for winter enthusiasts as it did for holiday escapees.

  Rhododendron in bloom, clear sky and melting beauty — great for new hikers and nature photographers.
