At the Speikboden ski area, it is also possible to undertake a variety of tours on snowshoes. Taking into account the weather and avalanche conditions, the Speikboden ski area is excellently suited for snowshoe tours. It goes without saying that in so doing, the marked ski runs should be avoided so as not to disturb the traffic on the slopes.  The ski lift facilities can be used for ascending, descending, or both.
