The snow shoes

On snowshoes you have an unspoiled experience away from the marked pistes in countryside that is still wild.

The arrival of snowshoes has coincided with the recent popularity of free riding. Snowshoeing can be done either on or off marked trails, but it generally takes place in powder snow among fabulous scenery. This discipline is accessible to anyone but you do need to be reasonably fit and it is better not to start with climbs that are too difficult and you should go out with a guide that know the area to start with.

Half day : 20.00 Euros
Day trapper :
27.00 Euros
