Winter holiday
the gentle way

Guided snowshoe hikes and winter walking at the hotel in Austria

When nature dons its white winter cloak, our mountain world reveals a particularly tranquil and magical side. Whether a cosy stroll around the hotel or a wildly romantic snowshoe hike – with us you'll find your very own rhythm and plenty of lovely ways to enjoy your holiday the gentle way. Our hiking experts will take you out into the snow-covered mountains five times a week and lead you to the loveliest little spots in the region – to where winter unfolds its very own magic.

At your own pace

Winter hiking in the Salzburg region

Explore what still lies hidden. Arriving where one has never been before. Rediscover yourself. From Monday to Friday, we accompany you on a guided snowshoe tour or winter hike into the deeply snow-covered valleys of the Hohe Tauern National Park – passing icy waterfalls and still, tranquil lakes, to the cosiest huts in the region or up to the panoramic summit of our local mountain, the Wildkogel. Make use of our hiking service, borrow walking poles and snowshoes free of charge, pick up a few valuable tips and ramble with us through the picturesque winter landscape.

Where winter leaves gentle traces

Winter and snowshoe hiking in the Salzburg region

With the gentle Kitzbühel Alps at your back and the Hohe Tauern National Park in view, a world opens up around Hotel Gassner **** Superior, where the facets of winter can be felt even more intensely. For us, it’s the first breath of crisp winter air, the crunch of snow underfoot and the gentle light that sparkles between the trees – all those little moments that simply fall into the day and quietly steal into our hearts.

For us, it’s above all about the feel-good factor, about ease – and, of course, everything that goes with it. All of this creates the magic of a gentle winter holiday, and we ensure you can enjoy it to the full. We have tailored our feel-good packages accordingly: with the finest cuisine, wellness across over 1,200 m² in the Crystal and Garden SPA, our hassle-free hiking service and plenty of places that invite you to linger. By the way, the best winter and snowshoe tours in the region can be found in our Komoot-Collection for winter. 

Maybe curiosity gets the better of you too, and you’d like to discover something completely new for a change? Then join the National Park rangers as part of the winter programme on a special excursion – for example, to observe wildlife in the Habachtal. For a personal recommendation, come and see us at reception – we’re sure you’ll find just the route that suits you when snowshoeing and winter hiking in the Salzburg region. To slow down, to take a deep breath – and, along the way, to collect a few precious metres of elevation for the Wanderhotel Summit Club.
