Snow­shoe bliss — foray through the win­try Salzkammergut

from 679,- per person

Snow­shoe hiking is the quint­essen­ti­al win­ter natu­re expe­ri­ence for all tho­se who love to get out into the fresh air in a white land­scape away from the slo­pes and cross-coun­try ski trails. With modern snow­s­hoes that pre­vent you from sin­king into the deep snow, you can enjoy the silence and seclu­si­on as you trudge through the snow. Rustic huts with regio­nal spe­cial­ties await you as a reward. Far away from the crowds, expe­ri­en­ced moun­tain hikers and hob­by wal­kers ali­ke can enjoy high alpi­ne expe­ri­en­ces that will delight ever­yo­ne. Step by step, win­ter sports enthu­si­asts hike across the idyl­lic alpi­ne win­ter land­scape and explo­re untra­cked ter­rain. Migh­ty peaks such as the Hohe Dach­stein always come into view.

Depen­ding on the time of arri­val, a visit to the Hand­werks­haus is well wort­hwhile. Tra­di­tio­nal, old craft­sman­ship is illus­tra­ted here, but also the way to modern working methods in the craft. You will recei­ve your tra­vel docu­ments and a wel­co­me schnapps at the hotel.

The sign­pos­ted ascent beg­ins in the dis­trict of Ram­sau, first through woo­ded are­as and across an exten­si­ve alpi­ne pas­tu­re area, such as the Igl­moos­alm and num­e­rous other (unfort­u­na­te­ly not mana­ged) huts. The rou­te leads up through a moun­tain spruce forest via the Schar­ten­alm and in the direc­tion of the Goi­se­rer Hüt­te.
