Winter and snowshoe hikes

White nature, gentle silence, fresh air - the crunch of snow underfoot. Winter hiking is a pleasure and the exercise is good for you. Wrap up warm and off you go on the approx. 70 km of winter hiking trails in the Wipptal and its side valleys, some of which are well-maintained and cleared premium winter hiking trails (pink trail markings).

Huts along the way invite you to warm up. If you want to dive even deeper into nature off the beaten track, the best way to do this is on a beautiful snowshoe hike. In the Gschnitztal and the other side valleys, you will find several routes of all levels of difficulty.
