Dreamlike winter hiking routes on the Seiser Alm

In the Seiser Alm holiday region, winter hiking is excellent. A total of 254 km of winter hiking trails lead through the snow-covered landscape of the Seiser Alm region.

While winter hiking, you’re at one with nature – only the glittering snow and breathtaking views might distract you when you choose a route on the Seiser Alm.

This high plateau in the Dolomites offers everything a winter hiking fan could hope for: very good climatic conditions, enticing viewpoints, well-prepared routes of around 60 kilometres, and the tangible sense of boundless freedom that only winter hiking on quiet trails provides.

Seiser Alm Winter Hikes and Snowshoe Tours

Hiking is a sport you can enjoy all year round. Experienced winter hikers know the special pleasure of walking through snowy landscapes in the cold season and breathing in the fresh air. On the Seiser Alm in the Dolomites, the views of snow-covered peaks and trees are simply spectacular—an experience not to be missed.

The Seiser Alm winter trails are all well marked, and you can choose your route according to your fitness level. If you’re a beginner, opt for the shorter trails and take advantage of the mountain huts along the way to recharge. Ready to discover the winter magic of the Seiser Alm? Then start your great winter hiking adventure in the Dolomites now!

60 Kilometres of Seiser Alm Winter Trails

You can discover the most beautiful viewpoints of the Dolomite region on around 60 kilometres of groomed winter hiking trails around the Seiser Alm. Start your Seiser Alm winter hike only after proper preparation: check the weather, your equipment, and plan the route according to your fitness. In very cold temperatures, thermal ski underwear is recommended to keep your body warm. Your hiking backpack should include food, drinks, a first aid kit, and blister plasters.

Winter Hiking or Snowshoeing

All winter trails on the Seiser Alm are suitable for both winter hiking and snowshoeing. Depending on your mood and the weather, you can choose. The approximately 50 km of snowshoe trails are well marked, and once the snow is about 50 cm deep, you can enjoy the silence of nature on your snowshoe tour.

Snowshoeing is considered a very healthy and endurance-boosting winter sport that requires little effort. If you don’t have the right equipment, you can rent it at various places. Guided snowshoe hikes with like-minded people and the countless opportunities for winter trekking in the snow make this otherwise solitary activity much more social.
