The snowshoe trail is marked with purple-coloured signposts, poles and patterns. After getting off at the intermediate station "Trift", you cross the track and walk up the right edge of the piste. Before the big net, you leave the way on the right and use the creek crossing. The trail leads up to the toboggan run and above the Trift mountain huts. After the alpine stables, it's generally easy, and the last section is a steep downhill to the lookout Preachers chair.
Running time: 45 min / Start: Kreuzboden
Winter hiking on the highest winter Snowshoe trail in the Alps - the feeling of lightness and joy in the snowy winter landscape! Try your first steps with snowshoes.
Enjoy a quiet walk on the circular trail Kreuzboden. Also, on this circular route, you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the Saas Valley.
Running time: 45 min / Start: Hohsaas
On a 1.2 km long circular route, the visitor to the Hohsaas stands face to face with the 18 mighty four-thousand-meter peaks of the Saas Valley. At first for real - and - then in replicas on information boards that briefly and concisely tell the peculiarities and history of each summit. The circular route is prepared to the location "Dom". The remaining part is only accessible by snowshoes. You can get a brochure about the circuit at the cash desk.
While the ski slopes on Hohsaas are slowly emptying, it is time to climb the Lagginjoch. A mountain guide accompanies the energetic snowshoe hikers on easy terrain over the Hohlaub glacier 500 metres up to the Lagginjoch. With the last rays of sunshine, you can enjoy an impressive view of the surrounding four-thousand-metre peaks and a deep view of the Laggintal valley. In the splendid evening atmosphere you walk back to Hohsaas, where you reach the cable car again shortly before nightfall. At the end of the evening, we enjoy a tasty cheese fondue.
