Winter is just around the corner, and with it the perfect time to enjoy nature in all its glittering splendour. Fresh air, snow-covered landscapes and sporting activities make the cold months something very special. But how do you stay warm and active in sub-zero temperatures without sacrificing comfort? With the right tips, activities and the right equipment from GIESSWEIN, you'll be perfectly equipped. Here are four ideas for unforgettable winter days - and how to stay cosy and warm.


    Winter hiking: Experience pure nature

    When the snow covers the landscape like a soft blanket, it's time for a long winter hike. Whether through quiet forests or along snow-covered mountain trails - winter hiking is not only good for the soul, but also a perfect way to stay active.

    The Wool Cross X Alpine from GIESSWEIN is your ideal companion for such adventures. Waterproof and equipped with temperature-regulating merino wool, your feet will stay warm and dry, even when the snow and cold strike. Thanks to the anti-bubble heel and micro-grip sole, you'll enjoy maximum comfort and a secure grip, even on slippery surfaces.

    Tip: Don't forget to pack a thermos flask with hot tea - this makes every break a highlight!

    Trail running in winter: Dynamics in the snow

    Trail running is also a fantastic option in winter for those who like it sporty. Trails covered in deep snow not only challenge your endurance, but also your coordination - and are twice as much fun as in summer.

    The Wool Trail X from GIESSWEIN is made for challenging terrain. Its Vibram® sole offers excellent grip on snow and ice, while the merino wool lining keeps your feet dry and warm. Whether in mud or snow - this shoe will keep up with you.

    Extra tip: Start on familiar routes before venturing into unknown terrain and wear reflective clothing for better visibility.

    The Wool Cross X Alpine is your perfect companion. Its waterproof finish and warm merino wool reliably protect your feet from the cold and wet. 

    Pro tip: Snowshoeing is a great full-body workout. Start slowly and build up to avoid sore muscles.
