Winter hiking
Experience a fascinating snowy landscape
This is pure deceleration. The sun shines, everything glitters, you have time and you take it. Enjoy nature to the fullest on a winter or snowshoe hike between glacier, mountain and lake. Whether on a guided tour or on your own, you will experience the winter landscape from its most beautiful side.
With or without snowshoes
Depends on the amount of snow and the chosen hiking tour. When in winter the snow falls from the sky in masses and transforms the Pinzgau into a deep snow landscape, then it is best to strap snowshoes to your feet. Where in summer a multitude of well-known hiking trails crisscross the landscape, in winter the paths often have to be found first. Of course, things are different on the many cleared walking or winter hiking trails. There, the winter road clearance service ensures cleared conditions. Sturdy winter footwear with thick lining and a non-slip sole is nevertheless advantageous.
