-         exercise and fun in the same activity...

Snowshoes are an ancient way of getting round in winter, but with modern snowshoes this is about to become a new trend. Snowshoes provide the opportunity to experience the nature in winter with pretty basic equipment and without special skills or training. A snowshoeing excursion is a funny and different experience well away from prepared cross-country ski trails or downhill ski slopes.

Snowshoes enable you to venture out into the untouched winter landscape offering fantastic views, power snow and total silence. With snowshoes fitted on your feet, you may not conquer the highest peaks, but you may succeed in having the greatest nature-based experience.

Here are some of the advantages:

If you can walk, you can also use snowshoes. This sport does not require any special skills. The "risk" is the same as for normal walking.

If you are going snowshoeing, you wear waterproof mountain boots, winter boots or hiking boots, put on your snowshoes and then take a pole in each hand - and then you are ready to set off. Apart from that, you wear the same as you would for a cross-country skiing trip or walk during winter.

It′s hard to image another activity that brings you so close up with nature and gives you the experience of winter and snow-covered mountains. The pleasure is even greater when you do this together with good friends. You can get anywhere, it′s good exercise, fantastic fun and you don′t have to wax skis. This activity is suitable for all who enjoy nature, the great outdoors and physical activity.
