In the wintry ambience, the Bregenzerwald and its idyllic landscapes become a popular destination for snowshoe hikes. The opportunity to discover the enchanting beauty off the beaten track gives the snowy season a very special fascination. Accompanied by a thermos of hot tea and optimally equipped, even the cold temperatures are no obstacle. This creates space for an undisturbed experience of nature that encompasses all the senses. We have selected a few recommended snowshoe hikes for you.
Discover the breathtaking circular route on the Rindberg in Sibratsgfäll, which, with its 13 stations, lets you experience the impressive power of nature. In turbulent May 1999, an unstoppable movement set the mountainsides in motion, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake – 20 buildings, roads, fields and forests were affected. The effects of this drastic event can still be felt today in the landscape and in the hearts of the people.
The Georund Rindberg tells this story impressively and conveys fascinating information. Particularly impressive is the “Haus von Felber”, which shows visitors the unbridled power of the forces of nature up close and at the same time provides a fascinating insight into the majestic nature of the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park.
Let yourself be enchanted by an enchanting snowshoe hike that takes you to the Rotenbachalpe and past the impressive Rotenbachschrofen vantage point.
Start in Schwarzenberg/Gmeind and make your way up to the Lustenauerhütte, which serves as a place to stop for refreshments. From there, the path leads through a varied landscape, characterized by extensive moorland, to the idyllic Rotenbachalpe. The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the Rotenbachschrofen vantage point, which will fascinate you with its impressive panoramic view. The way back takes you via the picturesque Klausberg mountain pasture and past the charming Ilga chapel back to the starting point of your hike.
Starting at the Hochgratbahn car park, take your first steps in a south-westerly direction along the toboggan run to the Untere Stieg Alpe. From this point you follow the marked trail, pass the picturesque Oberstiegalpe and finally reach the hospitable Falkenhütte.
