Snowshoeing on cross-country ski trails
Especially during Advent, snowshoeing on cross-country ski trails or away from the slopes around Mondsee is a memorable experience. And of course, there’s the daily feeding of roe deer and red deer in Hintersee. There are 11 feeding spots for roe deer and one for red deer. Visitors can watch the animals from a special viewing platform. Children in particular are fascinated by this spectacle of nature.

Bundle up warmly and enjoy a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride through the glittering snowy landscape. Ice and snow lend Mondsee a mysterious sparkle. Surely even Santa Claus would enjoy a hot cocoa afterwards. A winter holiday in Mondsee at its best.
