Have you ever thought about trekking in the snow? With snowshoes on your feet it’s possible! In fact, snowshoes are tools that widen the surface in contact with the ground by distributing the weight over a larger area and thus allowing the person to float on the snow.

There are several managed routes, i.e. beaten and verified routes to make them safe and to make you find the correct direction to go through poles and signs.
