Safety first. En route in an Alpine terrain you should always have a safety equipment with you in your rucksack. That is: avalanche rescue beacon (LVS), -transceiver, -shovel, first aid kit and a bivouac bag. The avalanche report informs about the current accident level (Gefahrenstufe). In Germany you can find the report under:  www.lawinenwarndienst-bayern.de

Snowshoeing is easy and you can learn it quickly. Nevertheless one has always to be prepared to cope with different snow condition, sometimes the terrain is icy, the snow can be soft or harsh or powdered. Compared to hiking in summer the snowshoe tracing requires higher power, condition and to be sure of step. The Inzell sports shops offer the equipment and trial courses.

The special family tour. In the light of a headlamp the unhurried guided 3 hours tour leads from the starting point Niederachen over Keitl to the Kesselalm and back again. Everyone is able to go, be it young or old. Not only kids love the atmosphere of a winter night, when the moon and the stars are shining in the sky and show the way.

For ambitious snowshoeing enthusiasts all Inzell ski touring routs are most suitable.  For example the tour from Farnbichl to the Stoißeralm has been tagged and sign posted also in winter by the association Deutscher Alpenverein. This tour offers a wonderful hike and protects at the same time the sensitive wildlife habitat of the shy Rauhfußhühner.
