With snowshoes you can leave the prepared routes and winter hiking paths and thus dive even deeper into the snow-covered landscape. Beginners or people unfamiliar with the area are recommended to start with a guided tour. There, the handling the snowshoes correctly is demonstrated and the proper behaviour towards animals and nature are taught. Information and addresses for guided snowshoe tours are available at the Tourist Centre.
There are also two marked snowshoe trails in Beatenberg:
Flyer Trail Chüematte / Habkern »
Flyer Trail Vorsass / Waldegg »
Snowshoe rental
Snowshoes can be rented at the local sports shop.
