Snowshoes offer a less technical alternative to cross-country skiing, allow everyone to avail of the mountains without too much commitment and difficulty. The strength of this activity is without doubt the agility of movement permitted in fresh snow, in pure and wild locations to truly get to know the mountains.
As with all mountain activities, you naturally have to pay attention and never overvalue your abilities, by choosing comfortable clothing, never taking difficult or tiring routes and always watch the weather forecast and and the snow report for the avalanche risk.
Asking a guide to accompany you is without doubt the best thing to do and allows you to concentrate on having fun.
