Guided snowshoe tours in the Bavarian Alps

Pop-up guided snowshoe tours in the Bavarian Alps

Explore the diversity of the Bavarian Alps in winter- the solitude and peace of trails through fairy-tale forests, passing frozen waterfalls, lakes and experiencing awesome mountain panoramas in a whole new setting. Our day tours take you away from the hustle and bustle and give us opportunities to look closely at the fascinating winter wildlife and nature around us. Come and join us as we explore this wonderful world off the beaten track.

We will decide the tour location according to conditions at the time, to get the best of the snow. The meeting point will be a point accessible by public transportation from Munich (Approx 1.5hrs) and car. From there we will fit the equipment and then head out on our tour.

Our tours will take us along snowy trails through forest, open snow-covered meadows with opportunities to get off-trail and make our own tracks. We will stop along the route for snacks, picnic and hot drinks. If there is a catered hut along the route we will let you know in the joining instructions.
