Snowshoe walking

Only the gentle crunching of shoe on snow interrupts the total stillness.  Even when it's a metre high, you don't sink down, but just continue quietly and safely on. In the depths of winter you can still make it to the snow-capped peaks. Or if you prefer, you can take a gentle stroll through the snowy winter forest.

The Hall-Wattens region with its seemingly endless expanses of forest and alpine pastures is a highly-desirable winter walking area.

On the countryside footpaths in the Hall valley near Absam - despite its length of only about 6km it's in one of the most varied valleys in the northern limestone Alps - winter views are assured at every turn. But even on circular walks through the Watten and Volder valley, through Tulfes, Gnadenwald, Fritzens or Baumkirchen , the wintry landscape reveals many new sides.
