Snowshoe tour Osterbergalpe

Snowshoe Hike Toward Osterbergalpe

Through a romantic winter landscape with a cozy stop for refreshments

Every Sunday from December 20, 2026, to April 4, 2027

On this easy day hike, we’ll let ourselves be enchanted by the charm of the winter landscape. We’ll hike toward the Hörnlepass mountain inn and continue through the expansive alpine pastureland of the Osterbergalpe, which is open to the public in the summer. In winter, we enjoy absolute peace and quiet here and listen to the silence. If conditions allow, we’ll make a detour toward the Hörnlepass. On this tour in the great outdoors, we leave everyday life behind and enjoy the solitude on our ramble through the tranquil winter landscape. An ideal day hike for beginners and anyone looking for a leisurely, relaxed experience.
