Prepared Winter Hiking & Snowshoeing Trails
For those seeking a more tranquil winter experience, Obergurgl-Hochgurgl offers a network of meticulously prepared winter hiking trails and dedicated snowshoeing routes. These paths wind through silent, snow-covered forests and along breathtaking panoramic vistas, providing a peaceful escape from the bustling slopes. Popular routes include the Zirbenwald loop (approx. 2-3 hours) and trails leading to various mountain huts for a warm drink and traditional snack. Snowshoeing tours, often guided, delve deeper into untouched nature, allowing visitors to explore the pristine alpine landscape. Maps are available at the tourist office. Trails are generally free to access, with snowshoe rental available at local sports shops (approx. 15-20 EUR per day). Available throughout the winter season, conditions permitting.
