Snowshoeing

Experience the Ötztaler winter-wonderland in the most romantic way possible. Snowshoeing can be much more than a relaxing type of movement in the snow, though. Take an attempt on the run and it turns into an athletic exercise. Snowshoeing during a full-moon night is the most romantic experience you could imagine.
