Snow shoe walks
Come and experience an expedition in an untouched winter landscape
On a guided snow shoe hike with our sports instructors you will discover that this is a particularly pleasant and easy way of moving in the wintry terrain, which has a positive effect on your wellbeing. This exercise was copied from the Indians and the trappers in the snow-covered winter landscape is increasingly becoming a trendy sport for young and old. Our sports instructors also look forward to meeting beginners at one of the "taster snow shoe hikes". The Hotel EUROPÄISCHER HOF provides a limited number of equipment free of charge for its guests.
Can there be anything nicer after a pleasurable snow-shoe hike in minus temperatures than warming up cold muscles in the warm thermal water? A real treat for the senses is relaxing afterwards in the hotel’s own "Gasteiner Therme".
History:
Snow shoes as we know them today were already described as a means against sinking in the Greek Xenophon around 400 B.C. amongst the Armenians: "They had tied sacks around the horse’s hooves, since they were sinking into the snow up to their stomachs."
