Snowshoeing adventures
through the winter countryside
It can feel a little strenuous at first, walking through the deep snow with snowshoes on your feet and trekking poles in your hands. Few other activities allow you to enjoy the snow-covered winter landscape away from the ski slopes quite as well.
Picture this: trees heavy with snow, wind-sculpted rocks forming bizarre silhouettes, and perhaps the glimpse of a stag, a chamois, or a herd of deer in the distance. Then, as you ascend above the treeline, you're rewarded with an expansive panorama that unveils the countless peaks of the Hohe und Niedere Tauern ranges.
The Loosbühelalm is also open in winter.
All the snowshoeing equipment you might need is available for rental at local sports shops here in Grossarltal.
Rules for snowshoers
Similar to ski touring, snowshoeing comes with its own set of guidelines. Selecting the right route, choosing the appropriate time of day, understanding the weather patterns and snow conditions, and knowing how to behave in open terrain are all essential skills every snowshoer should possess.
Always keep abreast of current avalanche conditions and follow the advice of the Salzburg Avalanche Warning Service.
