The expert's opinion

The hikes offered take place on mountain trails with elevation gains of 600 to 800 meters, both uphill and/or downhill, without any particular technical difficulties. Expect approximately 5 to 6 hours of walking per day.

You walk with a light bag containing your belongings needed for the day (picnic, warm clothing, thermos…) + your safety equipment.

You don't need to be an expert snowshoe hiker to enjoy this trip. You just need to be in good physical shape and not afraid of rolling around in the snow!
