But also the **cosiness** is not missing, numerous huts in the area around the Dachstein invite to a rustic stop. Put on a pair of snowshoes - let the snow crunch under your feet and **relax on a snowshoe tour**. Lots of snow, untouched **high valleys and peaks**, an incomparably **beautiful landscape** and functional, modern equipment. These are the ingredients for a winter experience in unknown silence. Quietly, deliberately, you will trace your way with your snowshoes into the **snow-covered winter landscape**. **The area**: The huge Dachstein massif offers two worlds: The **dreamy winter landscape** with stone pine forests and massive boulders as well as the **fabulous expanse of the Hallstätter Glacier**, the largest of the northern limestone Alps.
