Winter hiking & Snowshoeing

Winter hikes and snowshoeing in the Braies Dolomites - Alta Pusteria Valley

Where the meadows and forests are a luxuriant green in summer, the snow glistens in winter. Snow as far as the eye can see. But that does not deter anybody from hiking under a blue holiday sky. On the contrary. In fact the harmony and closeness to nature of the Braies Valley cannot be experienced in any other season as intensively as in winter when snowshoeing in the Dolomites. Can you already hear the fresh snow crunching under your feet?
