A gentle kind of
winter holiday

Guided snowshoe tours and winter hiking at our hotel Gassner in the Austrian Alps

When nature wraps itself in its white winter coat, our mountain world reveals its quiet and magical side. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the hotel or a romantic snowshoe hike – here you’ll find your own rhythm and countless beautiful ways to enjoy a winter holiday at your own pace. Our hiking experts accompany you five times a week into the snow-covered mountains, leading you to the most beautiful spots in the region – to places where winter unfolds its very own magic.

In your
own rhythm

Winter hiking in the Salzburger Land

Discover what still lies hidden. Arrive in places you’ve never been before. Reconnect with yourself. From Monday to Friday, we accompany you on guided snowshoe or winter hikes through the deeply snow-covered valleys of the Hohe Tauern National Park – past frozen waterfalls and tranquil lakes, to the cosiest mountain huts in the region or up to the panoramic summit of our local mountain, the Wildkogel. Make use of our hiking service, borrow poles and snowshoes free of charge, get some valuable tips, and wander with us through the enchanting winter landscape.

Where winter leaves gentle traces

Winter and snowshoe hiking in the Salzburger Land

With the gentle Kitzbühel Alps behind you and the Hohe Tauern National Park in view, a world opens up around the Hotel Gassner **** Superior where the facets of winter can be experienced even more intensely. For us, it's the first breath of clear winter air, the crunch of snow under our shoes and the soft light glistening between the trees – all those little moments that just happen during the day and quietly creep into our hearts. 

For us, it's all about feeling good, about lightness – and, of course, about the right surroundings. All this is what makes a gentle winter holiday so magical, and we make sure that you can enjoy it to the fullest. This is also how we have designed our wellness packages: with the finest cuisine, wellness on over 1,200 m² in the Crystal and Garden SPA, our carefree hiking service and lots of places that invite you to linger. By the way, you can find the most beautiful winter and snowshoe tours in the region in our Komoot collection for winter.

Perhaps curiosity will get the better of you and you'll want to discover something completely new for a change? Then join the national park rangers on a special excursion as part of the winter programme – for example, to observe wildlife in the Habach Valley. For a personal recommendation, please come to our reception – we are sure that you will find exactly the right path for you when snowshoeing and winter hiking in the Salzburg region. To slow down, take a deep breath – and collect a few precious metres of altitude for the Hiking Hotel Summit Club.
