Snowshoe hiking is not only a method of moving around in winter, but in the simplest way combines sport and nature, and can be undertaken by everyone at little cost.
Animal tracks tell of a fight for survival during this season. Mystical giant trees reawaken in us many childhood memories of fairy tales and mythical figures.
Our predecessors already used snowshoes or snow tyres to be able to reach remote game-feeding stations or mountain huts. A snowshoe has a wider treading area than a boot and thus sinks less into the snow. Energy saving hiking is in this way therefore possible over longer distances.
There are many opportunities to practice this sport in our region, especially in the famous “Hohe Tauern National Park”. It is one of our most famous national parks in Austria, and an exceptional natural experience in summer and winter. Special tours are offered for all enthusiastic snowshoe hikers near Hotel Traube.
