Tracks in the Snow: Experience Nature Considerately

Description

Experience the silent beauty of the Appenzeller winter: The snowshoe tour leads from Kronberg to Schwägalp and offers impressive views. Together with hiking and snowshoe guide Léonie van de Vijfeijken, you will learn which animals are active in winter and why they depend on our consideration. Additionally, you will learn how to prepare optimally for a tour and move safely in snowy terrain. The tour is suitable for adults and children from 10 years old with normal fitness – no prior knowledge is necessary. In case of little snow, we will instead undertake an exciting wild and forest hike in the region. Leadership
