Winter hiking and snowshoeing allows you to discover the landscape and experience it at your own pace. The winter hiking trails around Zell am See are all cleared and well sign posted. If you'd prefer to venture more 'off piste' snowshoeing is the best option as you'll be wading through fresh snow so you get to decide your own path to take.
