Step by step, you trudge through the untouched winter world. The cool mountain air whistles around your well-wrapped ears. Apart from the gentle crunching sound under your snowshoes, it’s blissfully quiet. It can only be as quiet as this when the landscape is hidden under a thick blanket of snow.

You’ve just strapped on your snowshoes and are already on your way to discover your surroundings. The Schladming-Dachstein region in the heart of Austria guarantees unforgettable adventures in its snowy mountain world. Whether you hike up or down, an impressive panorama is always in view as you explore the most beautiful places in the area.

So where to next? These six Tours should help you decide. Are you in the mood for a winter summit? Would you rather stay in the romantic valley? Do you fancy treating yourself to one (or more) local culinary delicacies at an alpine pasture – a sure highlight of any Tour? Or would you perhaps enjoy trudging across a high plateau, enjoying a great view and uninterrupted silence?

Whatever you prefer, we are sure that you will find what you are looking for in this Collection. All you really need is appropriate clothing – various layers are a must when snowshoeing, so you can stay warm at all times. In open terrain, you should always carry avalanche equipment such as an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe. Don’t forget a water bottle to quench your thirst and you’re ready to dive into a snowshoe adventure in Schladming-Dachstein style.
