Deep powder snow hiking
Snowshoes allow you to experience ultimate freedom during your holiday: you can walk wherever you want to go and discover the most beautiful spots of land away from the signposted hiking paths.
Put on your snowshoes and go for a walk through the deep powder snow, the bigger surface makes it possible to walk without sinking into the snow.
Tip: Don't forget to put on the so called gaiters in order to prevent snow getting into your shoes. There is hardly anything worse than hiking with wet feet.
Through nature on your own
You can of course go on your own individual snowshoe hike. Start directly at the Madlener Mountain Hotel and drift: the whole Damüls mountain area is utterly beautiful and you can decide for yourself how long you want to walk, where and when you want to take a break and where you will take your next turn.
Snowshoes are available at the Sport Madlener sports shop in Damüls; you can also borrow snowshoes and poles at the Madlener Mountain Hotel.
