Allgäuer Alpen Winterwandern

Winter hiking, snowshoeing and tobogganing promise the greatest winter enjoyment: magical snow crystals and ice sculptures, snow-covered meadows and forests, magnificent mountain panoramas, clear air and cozy alpine pastures. Herbert Mayr, at home in the Allgäu, presents a total of 50 winter hikes and snowshoe tours in the Rother hiking book "Winterwandern Allgäuer Alpen".<br><br>From an easy family hike with a fun toboggan ride to a sport-oriented summit ascent in high alpine surroundings, everything is included. The area includes the Allgäu High Alps, the Oberstdorf mountains, the Kleinwalsertal, the Tannheimer Tal, the Ammergau mountains and the Lechtal. When selecting the routes, particular attention was paid to the environmental compatibility of the winter hikes and snowshoe tours. For this, the fourth edition of the hiking book has been awarded the "Naturally on Tour" seal of approval by the German Alpine Association (DAV).<br><br>All routes are presented with precise directions, a meaningful elevation profile and a hiking map with the route marked. The cover flap with all the basic data is helpful for a quick selection of a suitable hike. The introductory chapters contain important information on equipment, avalanche risk, requirements in winter and places to stop for refreshments. The attractive photos make you want to immerse yourself in the winter mountain world.<br><br>All information has been carefully updated for the fourth edition. The GPS data for the routes can be downloaded from the publisher's website.<br><br><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Herbert Mayr | Bergverlag Rother | 4th edition 2016 | 176 pages | 97 color illustrations, 50 hiking maps at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, 50 elevation profiles, an overview map | format 12.5 x 20 cm | paperback</span></p>
