Winter has South Tyrol firmly in the grip and the country in a wonderful Winter -Fairytale landscape transformed. As Hiking enthusiasts It itches us leg. We must be sure, in the white splendour. Snow shoes need her and quickly. Said done, Rent snow shoes and we're ready to go in the direction Grauner yoke.
Snowshoeing and ski tours
Ring, rings, the phone rings. SIS is in the pipe. "Geat's with" Reinwold some? "Me gean Ivor". Proper translation: Do you want us (my brother and my sister are mean) go to the ski area Reinswald? We go with the Touring ski hinauf . Because SIS assures us, that we our snowshoeing (Ciaspole) can easily withstand, Let's broadly beat us and take the drive to purchase.
To 11.30 We happen to watch Sarnthein and approximately 12.00 Watch we come in Reinswald at . Parking is almost completely occupied, but at the back we find a place.
The best friend of all and I need to study first how to attract the snowshoes. We need a two minutes until we understand, that we the Climbing system must fold forward, So sit snowshoes parallel to the ground, but slightly bent make the slope less steep. After four minutes, it's done. Which Snow shoes sit and we can start.
Oh Schreck! No gloves! What's next? Fortunately my brother has a second pair in his backpack. Well again, but I again not what forget here a short checklist:
- Ski jacket or comparable jacket
- Pants or tour Skihose (You may also Gamschen)
- Climbing boots
- Hot Cap
- Sun glasses
- Hiking poles
- Gloves
- Snow shoes
- Backpack with drinks
- GPS (Unfortunately I find little snowshoe tours for the device on the Internet)
We start cyclo-cross the approximately 40 cm deep Schnee . Snowshoes can my weight together with the 10 kg backpack do not always snow surface. I break a frequently. Your best friend has been better. Their flyweight paired with “No baggage” pay off.
The Snow hiking trail which leads us along Toboggan run towards Sunnolm (1.850 m) upwards . Time and again we abbreviate some curves to by we trudge through the deep snow. Rupert with touring skis ahead. He dictates the pace. The best friend of all and I was behind her with the Snowshoes and behind us Sibille with touring skis.
Traversing hard slopes is with our snowshoes (TSL 225) as something tedious, because they offer something little lateral support.
We both Snowshoe walkers can't quite match on hard surface, Yes, we could overtake even the ski runner. On soft ground, We break something in the snow and need to Touring ski enthusiasts beaten.
We pass the Sunnolm. Rupert sets to a tooth - no two teeth! Somehow I feel not fit. I can't keep up. Probably it's because, I'm used to the Hiking poles greatly help, What view of snow cover from 30 until 60 cm is not feasible.
Cable car Skigebiet Reinswald
After about an hour we come one after another the Bergstation the Cable car When the Pichlberg-Alm & Luis ´ ns igloo (2.130 m) at .
Now the big search begins after table inside, outside it is saukalt and we totally sweaty. Glückskinder we, but find a small place and push us between a pair and a family table.
We eat and drink as the gods and warm us with a Jagertee on. One not needed unfortunately and Rupert ordered a second with a small note for the host: "Sog'sch in Luis an schean Gruaß und there soll in Tee a an Jagertee eini tean!"That Kellnerin versteht that Anspielung. "The second round is hearty how's heard and a"Schnaps"is there on top".
To approximately 15.00 We contact clock back towards the Valley. We now have Snow boarder no chance and therefore agree with brother and sister as a meeting point bar Baernstub (1.570 m) the Valley station the Cable car.
Snow glitzernde meadows, Winter trees, a magical landscape! We trudge through the deep snow off piste. The descent with the Snowshoes is progressing pretty fast. Snow slows down our steps, so we have steep slopes easily and without our “Knee disc brakes” all having to take too much,can run quickly down. Once I don't begrudge me even a fall in the soft white!
Lasting about twenty minutes of descent, then it is Snow adventure Unfortunately past. What a pity !
Here I cancel now this snowshoe hiking report, now begins the part in the Bärnstubn, What anything with hiking and to do fitness * g *..
In San Martino you can very well snowshoe hiking. Advantage: a safer way, no danger of avalanches, enough refreshments. Disadvantage: many people, a great bustle, which you want to not always have a snow-shoe hiking. But, certainly great!

Hiking in South Tyrol , is my hobby . Usually the best wife of all and I are on the way on easy hiking trails . While the camera of course never fails . On this blog you can watch the result of our hikes . 
Snowshoeing is also great fun, I think and if you look at first a bit of things has accustomed, very fine
The first time I had right scared before the download path – and then it was continuously, sliding and driving until you big Gaudi, was a lot of fun
It enters here grad “White” SeeWebcambild on Sunday the round – so we have never seen him
