Snowshoeing in nature
Stamping through the snow, savouring the silence of nature – another highlight in our region! Unlike regular hiking boots, snowshoes prevent you from sinking into the deep snow. This makes it possible to enjoy tours far away from the official winter hiking trails. The view of the winter wonderland with its snow-covered fir trees becomes even more intense – you'll be surprised!
