Once you arrive at the tour's destination, breathtaking views of the Gastein Valley and the surrounding mountains await you. Enjoy this moment before heading back down to the valley. Perhaps in the evening after your snowshoe hike you will treat yourself to a bath in the hot thermal springs of Gastein - the ideal end to an all-around perfect winter day in the Gastein Valley!

Snowshoeing should not be underestimated, but is a sport for people with much or little condition. Snowshoe tours should be tailored directly to your wishes, needs and sporting activities. For people with little condition, a small winter hiking trail in the valley or a leisurely hike through the snowy landscape is suitable. But there are also more demanding tours, such as to a mountain station. The best way to find out is to contact the tourist office.
For snowshoeing in Austria are best suited waterproof and warm winter boots or mountain boots. So-called snowshoes with a larger tread surface are strapped onto your own footwear. This allows you to hike through the magical snowy landscape without worrying about sinking in. You can rent these snowshoes in Gastein.
