Whether you are with family, friends or looking for a sporting activity, snowshoeing offers a sociable, refreshing experience suitable for all levels.
An activity accessible to everyone
Snowshoeing does not require any particular technique. After just a few minutes, you’ll be able to move easily along snowy trails and make the most of your outing.
From gentle walks on marked routes to more challenging hikes with elevation gain, everyone can choose a route suited to their level and preferences. It is an excellent alternative to skiing for discovering the mountains in a different way.
Snowshoes for all types of terrain
Modern snowshoes are designed to provide maximum comfort and stability. Their lightweight construction makes walking easier, while their crampons and teeth provide excellent grip on snowy terrain.
The models we offer feature quick, ergonomic binding systems that easily adapt to your hiking boots. Heel lifts reduce effort on uphill sections and improve comfort during longer outings.
What equipment do you need for snowshoeing?
To make the most of your outing, we recommend wearing waterproof, high-cut hiking boots and technical clothing suited to winter conditions.
Follow the three-layer principle to stay warm while allowing moisture to escape. Don’t forget your gloves, hat, sunglasses, water bottle and a small backpack. Hiking poles are also strongly recommended to improve balance and make walking easier.
Safety first
Although snowshoeing is accessible to everyone, it takes place in the mountains, an environment that requires vigilance. Before setting off, check the weather forecast and snow conditions, choose a route suited to your level and let someone close to you know your itinerary. For routes away from marked trails, safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe) is recommended.
