Snowshoe hikes in 3 Zinnen

An easy, enjoyable snowshoe hike through the snowy woods around San Candido/Innichen.

Sometimes you will go along a trail that may not have been cleared, so snowshoes are an advantage. Among other sights en route, you will also pass the historic Wildbad, which decades ago was a spa town for the nobility. There are also two mountain huts to choose from if refreshments are in order: the Jorahütte or the Riese Haunold Hütte, which is also the end point for this trip.

Long and therefore quite difficult snow shoe tour. Until Cappella del Bosco/Waldkapelle chapel (2,5 h). Until Baita del Cacciatore/Jägerhütte hut (4 h). Descent to Sesto/Sexten (2 h) and return by bus to San Candido/Innichen. 

The Sesto ski touring trail teaches you everything you need to know for safe ski touring during a tour lasting just under two hours. The ski touring trail combines basic theoretical knowledge, for example about the correct behaviour in the event of an avalanche, with an almost six-kilometre tour on which around 540 metres in altitude have to be conquered. The ski touring trail, which is equipped with information boards, starts behind the Zin Fux restaurant and leads between trees and across meadows to the Rotwand. From there to the mountain station, the uphill kick turn is practised in open terrain before returning to the valley via the ski slope.
