5km, 150m ascent, 1h30m, 0°C
The first snowshoe hike of the season (and my first snowshoe hike ever). Snowshoes were one of my Christmas gifts this year. The weather was pretty miserable: foggy, windy, snowing wet snow, and it felt colder than just freezing. Nevertheless it was still a fun hike and a successful first outing on showshoes for me.
We did a simple out and back hike from Raten, past Gottschalkenberg to Bellevue (supposedly the view point but it was fogged in). This hike could have been a loop around Gottschalkenberg, but due to the weather we decided to just retrace our steps to Raten. (Returning was easier because the snow was already tramped down.)
