Snow Shoeing Trip next to Kempinski Hotel

Tried for the first time Snow Shoeing next to Kempinski Hotel Austria ski area. It was a great experience! Once you put on the shoeing equipment, the walking/tracking on snow can be quite challenging especially when you are descending on steep slopes, as snow get into between you shoe and slider, it can be pretty slippery. With just 1 hour hike, your whole body will be wet due to expiration. It was a good form of excuse in a very cold environment.
