Secret corners of Kleinwalsertal The fascination of snowshoeing

Would you prefer to go gently and without a lift or slope? Snowshoeing creates a special, almost meditative atmosphere. Little by little, it casts a spell over you. You float over the crystal-white blanket with every step – what could be better? If you are taking your first steps in untouched snow or have already left many tracks, you will find a path to inner peace in this original way of getting around. Sports stores hire out the necessary equipment; local hiking guides accompany you to hidden places in Kleinwalsertal that only locals know – always in harmony with nature: it is particularly important to respect wildlife rest areas and forest/wildlife sanctuaries so as not to disturb the wildlife and protect nature.
