Excursion by snowshoes…for beginners

Tuesday January 31st, 2017 | Last minute

The first time you walk with snowshoes it feels a bit ‘like a flock of geese that move awkwardly in the snow. Just a few little ingenuity and a little ‘self-confidence and soon you will become familiar with these strange “rackets” that we tied to our feet. It’s not like skiing, it is much easier, does not usually slips. Spiky crampons we ensure a firm grip on the snow surface and sticks give us balance and rhythm in the step. Small and easy secrets that will allow us to discover nature in its most pristine: the winter.
