Winter hiking and pleasure
Step by step
Want to swap your ski shoes for snow shoes? On the Schmitten there are countless winter hiking paths through the deeply snow-covered landscape. An elevation of up to 2000 metres rewards climbers of all ages with dreamy views. Three times a week there are guided hikes; things are much easier when you are part of a group. Those of you who get a pit peckish between meals can replenish your energy stores in one of the traditional Alpine inns.

Altitude training in the Kitzsteinhorn glacier area
Even if it still hasn't snowed down in the valley you can still make tracks. On the three kilometre glacier trail on the Kitzsteinhorn optimum conditions prevail even in the summer and in early autumn. Up there the air is cold and clear, even though at lower altitude levels the heat is stifling, cross-country skiing on the glacier provides a welcome challenge. One thing is required however – a good level of fitness is recommended for sporty activities on the altitude trails.
