When the first snow makes the peaks glisten and silence descends on the valleys, one of the most magical times of the year begins in the Alps. Winter hiking means slowing down – clear air, sweeping views and paths accompanied only by the crunch of snow.
What do you love most? Hiking in winter when there is little snow, trudging through deep snow with snowshoes, or perhaps a ski tour?
This season, our alpine hiking destinations from Eurohike Walking Holidays reveal a very special side: dreamy, powerful and close to nature. In this article, we present impressions of our hiking regions Salzkammergut and Pinzgau, where winter is not just a backdrop but a real experience. Our product manager Christina was there for you.
The blog also tells you what equipment you need and gives you practical tips for winter hiking. Always keep an eye on the current weather and snow conditions to ensure you return safely.
Also: Wild animals seek out sunny spots in winter, so we kindly ask you to be considerate and keep your distance.
