Quick Search

If you are interested in winter trips but aren't interested in skiing, snowshoes are a good alternative. With snowshoes you can follow the same trails that are used for hiking during the summer.

There are several different types of snowshoes. Smaller snowshoes are best for firm, packed trails. Choose a larger snowshoe for off-track trips. Larger snowshoes can carry as much weight as mountain skis. Shoes used with snowshoes should have enough room for good thick socks and should be waterproof on the warmest days. Dress in layers - underclothing, an in-between layer and wind-proof outer clothing. Outer clothing should also be waterproof if there is a chance of rain or sleet. Bring along a warm jacket or pullover to keep you warm during breaks.

All of the following destinations rent snowshoes. More information is available in the catalogue and on our website.
