When the first snow blankets the peaks and trees of the Rätikon, you know it is time to dig out your snowshoes.

Bear in mind that Snowshoeing is a difficult activity. Before you set out to plough through the deep powder in your monster-sized boots, it is wise to have a good fitness level or participate in other endurance sports.

Don’t worry though, as this Collection includes all sorts of routes that are suitable for both beginners and athletes, giving you plenty of choice.

Some advice for your first snowshoe hike:
Do not wrap up too warm – you will sweat. The onion principle of layering applies in winter too. Avoid longer breaks in which your body cools down. Always carry a minimum of a dry shirt and enough fluids in your backpack. Hot and isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers. Pay attention to local avalanche warnings and ask the locals if necessary.

    This powerful sight will not let you go so fast. The iconic "Three Towers" tower high above the Gauertal and now in winter they look even more impressive as their bare rock walls stand out against the white landscape.
