Description

<p>Eastern South Tyrol with its focus on the Dolomites is a true paradise for snowshoe hikers: the glacier mountains of the main Alpine ridge and the steep rocky mountains of the Dolomites are cloaked in a white inaccessibility in winter, which emphasises their special fascination even more. At the same time, smaller, gentler peaks come into their own - real box seats in front of the unapproachable beauties. Winding paths lead through snow-covered forests to gentle alpine pastures. Many mountain huts are also open in winter and spoil their guests with South Tyrolean cuisine. Another special feature awaits snowshoe hikers in the Dolomites: beautiful high-altitude trails, which are laid out under steep cliffs and mostly along the tree line. These jewels for snowshoe enthusiasts include the Adolf Munkel Trail in the Villnöss Valley and the Labyrinth Trail on the Latemar.</p> <p>This Rother snowshoe guide contains difficult and challenging routes for experienced mountaineers, such as the Monte Castello, as well as many easy routes, ideal for beginners and connoisseurs alike who want to spend relaxing and stress-free days in South Tyrol's mountains.</p> <p>The author Evamaria Wecker provides numerous tips on equipment, avalanche danger, the best time of year and an overview of the great routes. Each snowshoe hike is presented with all the important information on altitude differences and walking times, requirements, avalanche risk, slope orientation and refreshment stops. Furthermore, there are detailed directions, a hiking map with the route marked and an informative altitude diagram. GPS data is also available to download for all routes. Beautiful nature photos also make you want to immerse yourself in the wintry mountain world with snowshoes. </p> <p>Evamaria Wecker | Bergverlag Rother | 1st edition 2014 | 160 pages | 98 color illustrations, 60 elevation profiles, 60 tour maps at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, an overview map | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</p>
