Snowshoeing

An experience for everyone

Snowshoeing is easy. Just strap some snowshoes to your hiking, winter or snowboard boots! And equipped with trekking poles, you’ll be ready to head out on your winter adventure. The snowshoes prevent your shoes from sinking in, and you can easily walk over the fresh snow cover. This makes it a gentle sport that’s easy on the joints and that doesn’t require any previous experience. However, everyone who decides to go snowshoeing off the signposted slopes and trails must bring appropriate equipment and have the necessary experience! We do not assume any liability.

The pink markings of the winter hiking trails and the purple ones of the snowshoe routes indicate that the routes are regularly maintained and secured. When open, they are safe options for your tour in deep powder snow. Do not use them when they are closed! Important: Out in the open Alpine terrain, all winter sports enthusiasts are responsible for their own safety.

Going hiking in soft powder snow together is a unique experience and perfect for groups and company teams. Together, you’ll walk over the glistening snow cover – and along the way, you’ll strengthen your sense of community. After shared experiences in the snow, a delicious fondue at one of the mountain huts awaits all participants. Tour tip: A moonlight tour followed by a fondue under starlit skies is a particularly wonderful experience.

The snowshoeing package, available at the Pischa or Jakobshorn valley stations, includes snowshoe rental and the required cable car ticket. This special snowshoeing ticket an be purchased either online or at the respective ticket offices on site.
