Another snowshoe hike

Finally no fog and not 100% overcast today.

Shorter snowshoe hike today, also from Raten: 2.8km, 50m ascent, 50m, -4°C. Still had the woods pretty much to myself despite the weather being a bit better today (still overcast but not foggy or wintry mixing).

First snowshoe hike of the season

First snowshoe hike of the season! Raten to Bellevue: 4.8km, 140m ascent, 1h30m, -2°C. Had the trail pretty much to myself. Hope to go again tomorrow.

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.)
