Snowshoe Hiking

Explore the Majestic Winter Landscape: Snowshoe Hiking in Tyrol

On your snowshoe adventure in Niederthai, preferably accompanied by a guide, you will discover the enchanting winter world of the Ötztal, far from the usual paths. Leave your mark in the freshly fallen snow, observe elusive wildlife, and enjoy a hearty Tyrolean snack at one of the mountain huts! Guided winter hikes and snowshoe excursions in the Ötztal can be booked at the Niederthai ski school or at your BIO-Pension "der Veitenhof".

Wonderful Snowshoe Hikes Right at Your Doorstep

Tour 1: Family Tour – Tauferberg: The hike begins in Niederthai at the "Tauferberg Round Trail," leading into the impressive Tauferberg forest, past gigantic rock formations and wildlife feeding areas up to the Mauslasattel. The return path descends gently. This easy beginner tour is also suitable for children. Duration: approximately 2 hours.

Tour 2: Into the Quiet High Valley: From the Ennebach district, a forest path leads towards Grastal. After about 30 minutes of walking, the trail branches off and ascends more steeply to the idyllic and largely untouched Grastal. At the beginning of the valley, the tour can be continued individually – either by venturing further into Grastal or choosing the steeper path to Brand, offering stunning views of the Ötztal mountain range (medium to difficult tour). Duration: 3-6 hours, depending on the route chosen.
