Snowshoe hiking: everything you need to know
Snowshoes are an easy-to-use tool suitable for everyone. They attach to the base of the hiking boots and allow you to walk nimbly on the snow with the help of special sticks.
Snowshoeing takes place on trails of different levels, from the easiest and open to novices and children, to the most challenging that require some physical preparation to deal with significant elevation changes.
Sunset snowshoeing or night hikes are also often organized to walk on snow illuminated by moonlight for an out-of-the-ordinary and even more exciting experience!
