Winter and snowshoe hiking in Tuxertal
During a winter holiday in the Tux-Finkenberg holiday region in the Zillertal, around 68 km of winter hiking trails, some of which have only been rolled down, cleared or cleared, ensure a winter variety.
The winter hiking trails to the Eggalm or the Sommerbergalm are a challenge - rustic huts and the panorama restaurants with Zillertal specialties await as a reward. Those who prefer to experience the great view comfortably can take the cable cars to the individual mountain stations.
Experience snowy landscapes and a glittering sea of 1,000 snow diamonds on your winter holiday in the Zillertal. Enjoy a snowshoe hike in untouched nature, where you get to know many new impressions of the snow-covered Zillertal mountains away from the slopes. Experienced mountain guides accompany you to the most beautiful places in the Tux-Finkenberg holiday region.
Snowshoeing - an experience for everyone
No previous knowledge is required for snowshoeing, the tours are offered in different levels of difficulty so that no one is deprived of this unique experience. The equipment can of course be borrowed from the sports shops if required.
