Winter hiking and snowshoeing in the Alps
That soft crunch under your feet and the quiet all around: this is what snowshoeing in the Alps feels like. No noise, no crowds – just fresh air, open views, and a white splendour. On a winter hike, you can follow over 140km of cleared trails through the snow-covered valley. But if you’re ready to venture a little further, your snowshoe holidays in Allgäu offer a new sense of freedom: trekking off-trail through sparkling powder snow, across snow-covered meadows, hillsides, and paths. In short: a little paradise, perfect for cosy winter hikes or adventurous snowshoe walking. Holidays in Allgäu are so exciting!
If you’re out exploring, you deserve a break: In Allgäu, traditional mountain huts with cosy parlours invite you to warm up and relax. Whether in the valley or up in the mountains – your snowshoe holidays include also local treats like “Käsespätzle” pasta and “Jäger” tea taste even better. Here’s where you can eat delicious food and cosy up:
- Restaurant “Nebelhorn 2224”
- Edmund Probst hut
- Nebelhorn Markrestaurant
- Panoramic bar “Gemsnest”
- Mountain inn Seealpe
- Restaurant Fellhorn
- Summit restaurant Fellhorn
- Adlerhorst hut
- Mountain restaurant “s' Urbar” (formerly Schwend hut)

Safety during your holiday in Oberstdorf
For your guided snowshoeing holidays, all you need are sturdy footwear, warm clothing, and hiking poles. However, if you plan to go snowshoeing on your own in unmarked terrain, it’s essential to be well-informed. Especially for tours at higher altitudes, make sure to check the latest snow and avalanche reports. Or better yet, rely on our certified guides: because your safety always comes first!
