Description

The Raxalpenhof in Prein is the ideal starting point for snowshoe hikes.

Not only the location is ideal for hiking on the Rax or the Kreuzberg, in winter you also have the possibility to rent snowshoe equipment in the wellness seminar hotel Raxalpenhof.

The hike is suitable for hikers in good condition, as it takes a long time.

Here you are far away from the stress of everyday life and can enjoy the peace and quiet and the view.

A moderate descent leads to the climatic health resort Semmering, where numerous hotels, inns and restaurants invite you to stay and the winter sports area at Hirschenkogel provides variety.

Those who can resist this offer can take the train via the Semmering Railway's World Heritage route via Payerbach back to the starting point in Prein.
