Snowshoeing

The moderately difficult snowshoe hike up the Feilkopf offers a mountain panorama that will not soon be forgotten. From Pertisau, the trail leads through snow-covered alpine pastures to the summit at 1,562 metres above sea level, from where you can also see Lake Achensee.

Beautiful tour on the south side of the Venet with far-reaching views over the Kaunertal, Oberinntal and Inntal valleys. A little off the route is the Goglesalm, which is open at weekends and is easy to reach.

The hike to the 200 metre long suspension bridge over the Höhenbach gorge in Holzgau is also worthwhile on snowshoes. The trail leads along sunny paths, through quiet, snow-covered forests and past colourfully painted farmhouses.

The Pfundser Tschey is also worth a trip in winter, especially for snowshoe hikers who can look forward to rewarding views. However, to cover the 550 metres in altitude to the summit of Pfundser's local mountain Frudiger, you should be in good physical condition.

This snowshoe tour on the Staller Sattel in East Tyrol's Defereggen Valley leads through tranquil winter landscapes to the border with South Tyrol with views of Lake Antholz.

If you want to climb the Padauner Kogel with snowshoes, you have a challenging but particularly attractive route ahead of you.

The one-hour snowshoe tour around Lake Thiersee is a real pleasure. Beginners in particular will enjoy the easy trails on the edge of the glistening ice of Lake Thiersee, nestled in the snow-covered mountain landscape of the Brandenberg Alps.

From Mösern near Telfs, snowshoe hikers trudge along mostly narrow paths through snow-covered woodland over the Brunschkopf to Seefeld's Wildmoosalm. The reward: relaxing peace and quiet, good food and views as far as the Zugspitze.

The view from the Markbachjoch between the Wildschönau and the Kelchsautal valley is well worth the climb. Snowshoe hikers can look forward to an easy tour starting at 1,460 metres above sea level to the Kasalm - including distant views over the Kitzbühel Alps.

The snowshoe hike to the alpine village of Largoz leads through snow-covered forests and unspoilt nature up to an idyllic alpine landscape. Along the way, there are impressive views of the Inn Valley and the surrounding mountains.
