How strenuous is snowshoeing?
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.
What shoes do you need for snowshoeing?
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.
For those who prefer to enjoy the beautiful snowy landscape without additional snowshoes, winter hiking is just the thing.
Snowshoeing for beginners?
Would you like to go snowshoeing for the first time during your vacation in Salzburger Land? The best way to do this is to visit one of the Gastein ski schools. Here you can rent the necessary equipment and book a tour with a local guide. This way, the snowshoe hike will be a fun and, above all, safe experience.
