An old Tyrolean saying runs – where there’s snow there’s a footpath. However, you’re at lot more comfortable on your feet than you would have been in the past: there are prepared trails and most of the time there’s a guesthouse at the end to warm up and a sledge to ride back down. Don’t wonder if hikers stroll past with tennis rackets on the soles of their feet – they’re snow shoe trekkers who always know where its best. Just ask and follow their tracks.
