Over the past few years, many mountain hikers have become very enthusiastic about snowshoe hiking. Yes, even skiers and snowboarders have discovered the equipment as a quiet alternative for trudging through the winter wonderland “off-road”. The holiday area of the Val Casies Valley-Monguelfo-Tesido has specialized in winter hiking with snowshoes. Snowshoeing is as easy as hiking in the summertime. But in so doing, the peace and quiet of winter can be enjoyed.
A hike through the mountain landscape covered in deep snow up to Alpine meadow cabins that are also open and operating in the wintertime is one of the most impressive experiences you can have in nature. These cabins are rewarding tour destinations and also ideal bases for longer summit tours. A thrilling descent back down into the valley on a sled or with a Böckl [a seat mounted on a single ski] is the perfect close to a hike on snowshoes.
