Snowshoe hike to the Mamauwiese from Losenheim

Special caution is required when moving in the mountains, especially in winter. When planning your route, consider that your schedule can easily be disrupted by a small incident in winter. A change in the weather or a technical defect in the snowshoes can significantly hinder progress. Also note that it can get dark as early as 4:00 pm in winter, and spending a night outdoors in winter can quickly become life-threatening.

Please also be aware that markings can be invisible due to snow in winter, so prepare well for your route!
