Snow-covered landscapes, wintry silence and a touch of adventure: snowshoeing in Carinthia is an experience of nature in its purest form. While snowshoes were once known as a means of transportation for hunters looking for game during hibernation, today they are popular “helpers” for discovering the secrets of winter.
Snow crystals glisten in the winter sun, and a glance back at the even trail made by the snowshoes reveals the direction from which the winter guests have come. The snowshoe tours in the Millstätter See - Bad Kleinkirchheim - Nockberge region lead through one of the largest stone pine forests in the Eastern Alps, over frozen mountain lakes and extensive alpine pastures. It's not unusual to find a hut along the way that tempts you to stop off for a sweet Kaiserschmarren.
For those who don't want to tackle the adventure alone, a guided snowshoe hike in Carinthia is the perfect option. Experienced guides lead participants safely through the snow-covered landscape. They know all about the right equipment and are happy to share interesting facts about the history of the region.
